Taina Perez doesn't know anything about her Taino heritage, nor has she ever tried to learn. But life takes a wild turn when her abuela tells her she is a direct descendant of Anacaona, the beloved Taino leader, warrior, and poet, who was murdered by the Spanish in 1503. Abuela also gives her an amulet and a zemi and says that it's time for her to step into her power like the women who came before her. But is that even possible? People like her hardly make it out of their circumstances, and the problems in her home and community are way bigger than Taina can manage. Or are they?
