Firefly & Fern Summary

Morning Girl offers a unique window into Caribbean island life through the eyes of a young Taíno girl living in the West Indies before Columbus's arrival. By alternating between Morning Girl's perspective and that of her brother, this richly imagined historical novel brings an indigenous culture to life with authenticity and warmth. Readers will discover what daily life, family bonds, and natural beauty meant to the first peoples who encountered European explorers.
