The Ragga Yute
Before she had language, she had the earth.
The Snake who taught her that deception is not always evil — sometimes it is survival wearing its only available coat. The Rat who showed her how to move through walls built to contain her. The Cat who answered to nothing, not even love. The Dog who knew loyalty and paid the full price of it.
She is a black girl in a time that has not yet decided she is a person. But the earth has its own record. And the animals do not lie.
In a Time of Tales is her-story pulled from the underside of history — not the version written by those who won, but the version remembered by those who endured. A young girl moving through bondage, through myth, through the strange wisdom of creatures who were enslaved and by instinct, carried the tale of mankinds truest natures.
She will meet what is truly against her.
She will name it.
She will not be destroyed by it.
This is not a story about suffering. It is a story about what suffering could not touch.
