Book of the Little Axe

Set in 1796 Trinidad, this audiobook follows the journey of teenage Rosa Rendon, a spirited girl who defies conventional female roles as she aspires to manage her family’s farm amid the looming changes of colonial rule. As tensions rise with British governance impacting free black property owners, Rosa's path takes her to 1830 Bighorn, Wyoming, where she and her husband Edward Rose confront hidden family secrets while guiding their son Victor on a quest to discover his identity. Through this journey, Rosa not only seeks to uncover her son’s potential but also retraces her own compelling history from the Caribbean to the American plains.
