description: A battle between an ageless mermaid-queen and a resurrected ancestor arises over the life of an enslaved African.  A slaveholder, amidst unreliable circumstances, adopt new Quaker doctrines and set this slave free.  Should the African make Kentucky home? Should he nurture the ambition to levitate back to his village in Oli'doma?  Black rivers are encountered in various places - in supernatural realms, in the heart of Africa and, in the meadow lands of America.
