Our next book is River Sing Me Home by Eleanor Shearer. River Sing Me Home by Eleanor Shearer is a historical novel about Rachel, an enslaved woman in Barbados, who escapes after the 1834 Emancipation Act to find her five children sold away from her during slavery. The book follows her perilous journey across the Caribbean (Barbados, British Guiana, Trinidad) as she searches for her children, exploring themes of motherhood, freedom, and the lasting trauma of slavery. Multiple copies are available to check out from the Trinity Lutheran Church office.
