Description
What if the key to your wholeness lay in your wounding?
2011: Sarah Baum is a white humanitarian nurse who’s worked in conflict zones for years. When recurrent nightmares of being a scared Black girl hiding in the forest cause her to make a near-fatal mistake, she’s faced with her biggest challenge yet: how to heal from her past. And who is the girl in her dreams?
1914: Fourteen-year-old Maggie Burke flees the land where her family works as sharecroppers after witnessing the lynching of her brother and father. She eventually finds her way to New York and later Washington, DC, where her personal demons finally catch up with her. Will she have to give up everything she thought she wanted to follow the wild, poetic voice wishing to emerge through her?
Alternating between Sarah’s deep dive into her childhood and ancestral wounds and Maggie’s journey from survival to forging her own path, The Unbroken Horizon explores the ways humans survive, heal, and even thrive in the face of individual and collective trauma.
Content Advisory: The novel contains descriptions of sudden death, lynching and other forms of racial violence, sexual violence, and mental health struggles.
