Ferry Tales

Dank, drink, and dick is all Anana thinks she needs until she is yanked by an unexpected (and undeniable) invitation to her forgotten homeland that will send her across oceans, generations, cultures, and herself, or risk losing herself somewhere in the middle.

Born of a legacy forgotten over centuries, Anana Freedman has all the trappings of a Black Millennial dream—cash in her purse, smoke in her lungs, liquor on her lips, and lovers in rotation. But the one thing she lacks is herself. When an unexpected wedding invitation to West Africa arrives, it cracks open the illusion, thrusting her into the troubled waters of her birth. There, between sips of whiskey, puffs of smoke, sweat of romance, and tears of mud, she must reassemble her deepest truth—one that lies somewhere between the story she’s been told and the one etched in her soul—or drown trying.
