Condemnation. Guilt. Alienation. What is left of a family in the aftermath of violence? Set in East Flatbush, Brooklyn; Trinidad; Barbados; Northern California; and throughout the globe, The Sons and Daughters of Ham is the story of a Caribbean-American family, an African-American young man, violence, choice, and destiny. The Sons and Daughters of Ham, Book I: A Requiem, is the first book in Petra E. Lewis' powerful inter-generational and historical literary-fiction trilogy. The books' concept started with three acts of violence in the author's own life-the final one being the murder of a young man. This led to a question: \"Why is it so easy for Black and Brown young men to kill each other-and where did this mindset come from?\" Seeking answers, this stunning debut fiction trilogy is Petra E. Lewis' heartbreaking answer to \"Why?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Petra E. Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Petra E.

Lewis experienced three acts of violence-the final one being the murder of a teen. This birthed a question: Why is it so easy for Black and Brown young men to kill each other-and where did this mindset come from? This inspired Lewis' Columbia MFA fiction thesis, which later became The Sons and Daughters of Ham trilogy. It was the start of a literary odyssey. Cut to summer 2014: Post-MFA, after being represented by two high-powered literary agents, including one at ICM, and an extended career pit stop on Wall Street, Lewis finally decided to self-publish her novel trilogy, The Sons and Daughters of Ham.
