Araba thought she had buried the past. She was wrong.
Years ago, Esan vanished across the Atlantic, leaving behind a family that never learned what became of him-and a woman forced to build a life without answers.
Araba did more than survive.
She became a wife. A mother. And, after her father's decline, a formidable trader in eighteenth-century Anomabo, fighting to protect a legacy others believe should never have belonged to her.
She also learned to love Akwasi-the steady husband she once married from duty and eventually chose with her whole heart.
But absence has consequences.
As grief fractures her family and ambition strains her marriage, old betrayals give way to new ones. Family interferes. Secrets grow heavier. And the little boy at the center of Araba's world is beginning to resemble someone he should not.
Then word arrives from across the Atlantic.
Esan may be alive.
Suddenly, the past is no longer safely buried.
Rumors carry his name from the Caribbean to England and finally back toward the Gold Coast, forcing Araba to confront the life she built in his absence-and the truths that could destroy it.
She may have spent years wondering whether Esan would ever come home.
But she did not spend those years standing still.
Set amid the bustling ports, trading houses, family compounds, and shifting fortunes of eighteenth-century Anomabo, Across the Waters is a sweeping African historical saga of love, marriage, betrayal, motherhood, ambition, family, and the dangerous consequences of secrets kept too long.
Book Two of the Blood, Salt, and Dust Trilogy.
