The color of my words

Ana Rosa is a blossoming young writer growing up in a poor seaside village in the Dominican Republic.

But in a country where words are fared rather than written down, Ana Rosa must struggle to find her own voice and the means for it to be heard.

This debut novel from poet Lynn Joseph is a lush and lyrical journey into the landscape and culture of the Dominican Republic.

The Color of My Words explores the pain and the poetry of discovering what it means to be part of a family, what it takes to find a place in the world, and how it feels to write it all down.
