内容简介：
In the quest for his family tree, cruelly uprooted three hundred years ago by the inhumanity of slavery, Paul Crooks undertook research which led him from London to the Caribbean, and from there to the Gold Coast of Africa. The facts he uncovered from the basis of this gripping novel. . . It's the late eighteenth century. Aboard a slave ship bound from West Africa to Jamaica, a terrified young boy is cared for by Ami, a fellow captive, who becomes his surrogate mother during that nightmare voyage. They are sold to separate owners, but their lives remain curiously intertwined. . .
