Book Description
The Tainos were an Arawak people, who were the indigenous people of the Caribbean. The Tainos were my people. My name is Anacaona from the Taino language, Anacaona meaning 'Golden Flower'. Ana meaning flower and Caona meaning golden. I am one of the first woman to lead my tribe. I am a Cacica (chief). We are a gentle culture, happy, friendly, peaceful, and maybe that was our downfall. Senor De Ovando, the leader of the Conquistadores was enslaving my people and shipping them in boats to Spain. Painfully speaking, this was not enough because he wanted more, he wanted ME. This is the night my eyes engulfed with flames of fury and the night that everything was set into motion so I can visit your world...time is an interesting thing, sometimes it heals you and sometimes allows your rage to grow. My legacy will not be silenced. My legacy will impact your world.
