Description
Warrior Princess. That?s what Nigeria Jones?s father calls her. He has raised her as part of the Movement, a Black separatist group based in Philadelphia. Nigeria is homeschooled and vegan and participates in traditional rituals to connect her and other kids from the group to their ancestors. But when her mother?the perfect matriarch of their Movement?disappears, Nigeria?s world is upended. She finds herself taking care of her baby brother and stepping into a role she doesn?t want...Nigeria?s mother had secrets. She wished for a different life for her children, which includes sending her daughter to a private Quaker school outside of their strict group. Despite her father?s disapproval, Nigeria attends the school with her cousin, Kamau, and Sage, who used to be a friend. ?There, she begins to flourish and expand her universe...As Nigeria searches for her mother, she starts to uncover a shocking truth. One that will lead her to question everything she thought she knew about her life and her family.
