 Welcome back!! !n this episode, our hosts review "Yellow Wife", Sadeqa Johnson’s powerful historical fiction novel inspired by the real horrors of Richmond Virginia's Devil’s Half Acre, and Lumpkin’s Jail. They explore the journey of Pheby Delores Brown, a young enslaved girl whose promised freedom is stolen when she’s taken to a notorious slave jail and forced into becoming the coerced “yellow wife” of its violent jailer. As they unpack the novel, they discuss themes of survival, motherhood, resilience, and the emotional weight of navigating cruelty while trying to protect your children. Moni and Kat also touch on the real history that shaped this fictional story and why these narratives still matter today. Cheers!
