About this item
by John A. Canamar (Author)
The Fire We Carry
In this powerful historical novel, a young girl named Amara tells the unforgettable story of her people-the Black Seminoles, a courageous community of African-descended individuals who escaped slavery and found refuge among the Seminole tribes of Florida.
When war and betrayal threaten their fragile peace, Amara and her family embark on a daring journey from Florida to Indian Territory, and eventually across the Rio Grande River into Mexico. There, they help build a new home in Nacimiento, a village carved from struggle, strength, and unity.
Told across generations, The Fire We Carry celebrates resistance, cultural survival, and the deep roots of identity. Inspired by real events and the living legacy of the Negros Mascogos of Mexico, this story invites readers to remember the past-and carry its fire forward.
