Princess Witch

Abena is born a princess in Ghana. Beautiful, courageous, and with knowing eyes, she is taught the skills required to lead her people: from the healing properties of plants to military strategies to rule armies of soldiers. When circumstances sweep her from her village to the dangerous mountains of the Caribbean, she becomes a thorn in the side of those who seek to capture her and her people. In fact, she is so good at evading the ruling Red Coats that, in their frustration, they conclude she cannot be a mere woman—she must be a witch! The captivating true story of Nanny of the Maroons.
