Deeply rooted in the impacts of intergenerational pain and trauma, The Deep offers a glimpse into an underwater civilization built by the decendents of kidnapped pregnant African women who were throw overboard during the trans atlantic slave trade. 
Tackling differing views on the role that history, storytelling and trauma can play in a society along with beaufiful prose and world building.
