Coming of age in a free Black community in Reconstruction-era Brooklyn, Libertie Sampson attempts to find a place where she can be fully, and only, herself . . .
Inspired by the life of one of the first Black female doctors in the United States and rich with historical detail, Libertie is sure to resonate with readers eager to understand the present through a deep, moving, and lyrical dive into our complicated past.
"A feat of monumental thematic imagination, Libertie is historical fiction that unites the African diaspora with a tale that mines history and transcends time." -- The New York Times Book Review
