Yellow Wife was named as a Best Book of 2021 by NPR and Christian Science Monitor. Pheby Delores Brown was born on a plantation in Charles City, Virginia and has lived a sheltered life ever since. Her mother is the estate’s medicine woman and the Master’s sister likes her so she is treated much better than the others on the plantation. Pheby had been promised freedom on her eighteenth birthday and is forced to leave the only home she has ever known. Instead of a life of freedom, she finds herself at the infamous Devil’s Half Acre, a jail in Richmond, Virginia, where the enslaved are broken and tortured. It is a completely different world compared to her old one where she sees the jailer’s cruelty. If she hopes to survive, Pheby will need to outwit him.
