On Ghana’s Gold Coast in 1802, a grieving mother walks to the sea each day, offering prayers for the son stolen from her by the transatlantic slave trade. Her seven prayers—of tears, memory, hunger, anguish, emptiness, hope, and surrender—echo across history as a timeless testament to loss, love, and resilience.
