Overview
Aramenta Burgwyn, born the privileged daughter of a Southern planter before the Civil War, has long harbored a quiet suspicion: her mother is not white, but Henrietta, a striking, mixed-race slave. When her father dies, her aunt seizes the estate and Aramenta is sold into slavery.
Reborn as Sayla, she must navigate the horrors of bondage and the fractured landscape of the Civil War. Through brutality, betrayal, and unimaginable hardship, Sayla fights for freedom, identity, and dignity, carving a path toward a life she refuses to surrender. Across continents, Julian, her childhood friend and first love, must navigate the tides of war and exile to find her.
Sayla Is My Name is a vivid, unflinching tale of courage, resilience, and the struggle to claim one’ s humanity in a world determined to deny it.
