商品簡介
The journey began with a crossing.
It continued through generations of courage, resilience, and remembrance.
Now, in the breathtaking conclusion to the Red Bay Series, the waters that once separated families, cultures, and histories finally bring them together.
When librarian and researcher Nadia Beaumont uncovers a forgotten collection of nineteenth-century letters linking South Carolina's Gullah Geechee communities to the settlement of Red Bays, Andros, she finds herself drawn into a mystery that reaches across centuries. What begins as an archival discovery soon becomes a journey of reunion, revelation, and restoration.
A storm uncovers a hidden box buried beside the oldest graves in Red Bays. Inside are letters, sacred heirlooms, woven cloth, and one of the oldest surviving sweetgrass baskets ever created by descendants of those who crossed the Gulf Stream seeking freedom. As Nadia, Roland Cooper, Cecile Cooper, and renowned archivist Dr. Priya Chandran follow the trail left by their ancestors, they discover that history is not merely something preserved in books. It lives in hands, memories, traditions, songs, prayers, and the stories communities choose to carry forward.
From the Sea Islands of South Carolina to the shores of Andros Island, Roots Where the Waters Meet celebrates the enduring connections between the Gullah Geechee people, the African diaspora, and the generations who refused to let their heritage disappear.
Rich with historical detail, cultural memory, family legacy, and hope, this unforgettable novel explores the power of identity, belonging, and the sacred responsibility of passing knowledge from one generation to the next.
Because some roots grow deeper than oceans.
And some stories never stop crossing the water.
