Sadeqa Johnson s new novel,
Yellow Wife, is a harrowing tale of the life of an enslaved woman in Virginia, beginning in the 1850s. A challenging read but beautifully told, this thought-provoking page-turner is also surprisingly uplifting. And at its core,
Yellow Wife is also a story of motherhood and the sacrifices a mother will make to protect her children no matter how those babies come into the world.
When the story begins, Johnson s protagonist Pheby Delores Brown is 17 and lives at the Bell Plantation. She and her mother, Ruth, a well-regarded healer, are inseparable and treated special by the plantation owner, Jacob Bell. Their elevated status is due in part to her mother s rape by Master Jacob and her ongoing forced sexual encounters with him. With no options but to do as she is told, Ruth uses his lust to solicit a promise he will set Pheby free on her 18th birthday.
