 Sample Reading from Angelique

For a moment I felt a disquiet I couldn’t name. Not guilt, not exactly. Not fear. Just awareness. That the world was deeper than I had imagined. That to become a messenger, I would first have to learn to listen, to histories that weren’t mine, to voices long silenced by seas and names and forgetting.

My son stirred in my arms, pressing his head against my chest. I held him tighter and whispered a silent vow, not of certainty, but of openness.

Angelique would not be born only from my own journey. She would be shaped by the silence between cultures, the beauty of difference, the ache of humility.

That night, as the ship pulled away from the South African coast, I stood alone on the deck while the city lights flickered behind us, soft as memory, sharp as regret.

I thought of the girl again, balancing her bundle with regal ease, her gaze unflinching. She hadn’t spoken. She hadn’t needed to. She had shown me something essential — that dignity can be carried even when the world tries to take it from you.

The sea wind tugged at my sleeves, salt clinging to my lips. I whispered a prayer I didn’t yet know how to answer: Break my heart for what breaks Yours. It was a slow birth of a deeper seeing.
