Book excerpt: Ethiopian heiress SaRita Appiah hides within the palace chambers while her parents await their dear friends, the Pittway family, who have arrived in Africa on one of the first steamships to sail in 1852. While five-year-old SaRita hopes her dear friend, Nala, will visit the next day for a secret tea party, she becomes fascinated with all of the fabulous places she can become invisible while her parents entertain their American guests. Five years later, life suddenly takes an unexpected turn, leaving SaRita to rise to incredible challenges that take her from Ethiopia to Peru and eventually the tiny town of Gee's Bend, Alabama. It seems like only yesterday that she was tasting mandazi donuts and roasted apricot honey ice crème, and planning tea parties. As the Emancipation Proclamation is enacted, the Civil War begins, and her diverse experiences teach her valuable lessons, SaRita learns about her African American heritage, the art of quilting, and what royalty truly means as a chain of events unfolds that lead her to love, marriage, and new beginnings. In this riveting historical saga, a young African princess endures monumental changes as her life journey takes her to America amid the Civil War era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come take an adventurous romantic interlude to a historical black African ancient kingdom known as Kush. Famous for their beautiful walled cities, pyramids, and fountains, ancient Kush was located just south of Egypt, in present day Sudan. Its people were renown for being fantastic archers and ironworkers, in addition to world traders and herdsmen of cattle. Elephants and black stallions were used in the army and pageantry of this wealthy black African civilization where gold and diamonds were abundant. The story takes place around the first century BC: The king of Kush wishes to prearrange a marriage with his son to a beautiful black African princess, Ashaki, who lives in the African kingdom of Shaba. The proud princess Ashaki however has no desire to be queen over Kush, as can be seen in the following exchange between the princess and her father: “Kush is one of the most splendid and powerful countries in the world. It should be every girl’s dream to be a queen over such a wonderful land!” “But I am a princess now! Why do I need to go to Kush to be princess there?” “Ah, Ashaki,” sighed the king in an exasperated tone. “Even princesses have responsibilities. Our people count on us.” “I’ve already heard this part, father. I can not marry Machupa and that’s final! If he is so great, let a Kushite girl marry him!” ... Of course, the princess does agree to go to Kush with her friends to see once and for all what the country is like and to meet its heir prince… with an outcome unexpected by everyone. Experience the splendor of ancient black Africa and one of its most important ancient civilizations – Kush – in this fictionalized story meant to appeal to both children and adults alike.
