The Ten Lives of Mariam

1870. In the state of Ohio, a census is taking place. An ancient, dark-skinned old woman dozes in the yard of a small house. A bored enumerator records her answers to questions. Name: Mariam Priscilla Grace... a former slave. Born:... in 1758, or maybe even earlier, birthplace... From the old woman's memory, long-forgotten memories rise: from the ancestral gates, from her own unpronounceable name, a whimsical spiral of the lives of Mama Grace unfurls, filled with hard labor, care for the sick, but also with love and, most importantly, a thirst for freedom, which those born in Africa can only tell their children about. “The Ten Lives of Mariam” is an exciting historical epic dedicated to the journey of a woman dubbed the “African witch” across the ocean of years, as vast as the Atlantic, which forever separated her from her homeland.
