Description
An African Princess was stolen, shipped, sold and thrust into slavery in the land they called "Xaymaca." In shock, she observed this new cruel world. At times, unwilling to believe her present reality, she went through the motions of hard labour and severe abuse with no resistance. However, she was noticed by some of the children on the plantation especially by Marcus. He knew she was the catalyst they needed to bring about a long awaited change. A change his friends, Sam, William, Paul and Peter, all born slaves, hungered for. They had a dream - a dream to be liberated from all who chained them. With this African princess, their dream would finally come true. "Xaymaca Part 1" is the beginning of a short story series of the enslaved Caribbean children named after Jamaican national heroes as they pursue freedom.
