What was it like to live as a queen in ancient Egypt, or as an Amazon warrior in western Africa? African Princess tells the stories of six remarkable royal women and the eras in which they lived, from 1473 B.C. to the present. Some lived in great luxury; others lived in exile as freedom fighters. The rise of the slave trade and the arrival of European colonists unsettled the entire continent and forced rulers to find ways to govern and protect their kingdoms. Consequently, many of these royal women ruled in extremely difficult times, marked by palace intrigue, foreign invasion, and harrowing adventure.

Sarah Culberson was adopted one year after her birth by a loving, white, West Virginian couple and was raised in the United States with little knowledge of her ancestry. Though raised in a loving family, Sarah wanted to know more about the birth parents that had given her up. In 2004, she hired a private investigator to track down her biological father. When she began her search, she never imagined what she would discover or where that information would lead her: she was related to African royalty, a ruling Mende family in Sierra Leone and that she is considered a mahaloi, the child of a Paramount Chief, with the status like a princess. What followed was an unforgettably emotional journey of discovery of herself, a father she never knew, and the spirit of a war-torn nation. A Princess Found is a powerful, intimate revelation of her quest across the world to learn of the chiefdom she could one day call her own.

Come take an adventurous romantic interlude to a historical black African ancient kingdom known as Kush. Famous for their beautiful walled cities, pyramids, and fountains, ancient Kush was located just south of Egypt, in present day Sudan. Its people were renown for being fantastic archers and ironworkers, in addition to world traders and herdsmen of cattle. Elephants and black stallions were used in the army and pageantry of this wealthy black African civilization where gold and diamonds were abundant. The story takes place around the first century BC: The king of Kush wishes to prearrange a marriage with his son to a beautiful black African princess, Ashaki, who lives in the African kingdom of Shaba. The proud princess Ashaki however has no desire to be queen over Kush, as can be seen in the following exchange between the princess and her father: “Kush is one of the most splendid and powerful countries in the world. It should be every girl’s dream to be a queen over such a wonderful land!” “But I am a princess now! Why do I need to go to Kush to be princess there?” “Ah, Ashaki,” sighed the king in an exasperated tone. “Even princesses have responsibilities. Our people count on us.” “I’ve already heard this part, father. I can not marry Machupa and that’s final! If he is so great, let a Kushite girl marry him!” ... Of course, the princess does agree to go to Kush with her friends to see once and for all what the country is like and to meet its heir prince… with an outcome unexpected by everyone. Experience the splendor of ancient black Africa and one of its most important ancient civilizations – Kush – in this fictionalized story meant to appeal to both children and adults alike.

Lavina: The Saga of an African Princess (The Complete Story) depicts a heartrending, and sometimes distressful, historical narrative of a beautiful young tribal princess named Lavina from West Africa. This poignant narrative tells how she and her promised one Rabboni were unmercifully taken from their homeland and brought to the colony of Virginia. They were then sold as slaves to endure the harsh abuses and cruelties of the fields. Separated and alone, Lavina is purchased by a compassionate elderly couple, while Rabboni suffers at the hands of different slave owners. However, with deep and abiding faith in their Almighty Protector, they miraculously find each other again and fulfill the promise made at their sacred market place. Told in graphic and honest detail, this author's portrayal of their deep faith in their Almighty Protector shows again and again how these two unfortunate people survived the harsh and intricate system of oppression marshaled against them. This historical narrative is an excellent read for all Americans, particularly young African Americans, interested in learning more about the American history involving their ancestor's most horrific existence as slaves in Colonial Virginia. Read and examine the painful, yet moving and exultant triumph of Lavina: The Saga of an African Princess (The Complete Story).
