BlackWorld a Novel by Bertice Berry

The Story of BlackWorld is a tale like no other. 

BlackWorld is real and exists in the corner of heaven,

 but unlike other heavenly realms, BlackWorld was created

 by the ancestors; those who'd been stolen from Africa

 and brought to the Americas. Those enslaved Africans 

were shackled, tortured, and maimed. 

Many began to lose their humanity.

One among them implored God to provide a place where 

the enslaved could rest their spirits long enough to endure

 the suffering and make way for the future. God relented

 and gave them the realm that is still known as BlackWorld.

 Now, it is visited and inhabited by any who seek justice, 

love mercy, and walk humbly with God. It is for those who

 cry out and for those who are called. You don't have to

 be Black to go to BlackWorld, but as Brother Malcom 

once said, “It do help.” 

Rose Freeman has been called to BlackWorld. When her

 doctoral studies are interrupted by requests of the Last

 Will and Testament of her Aunt Bertha, Rose learns that

 she must distribute the millions left by a person she'd

 known as a “woman of modest means." 

“You'll know what to do,” her aunt's will instructs, but like so

 many other lost Black folks, Rose is trying to get by, by fitting in. 

She has no idea that her blackness and the experience thereof

 is the world's saving grace. 

With the assistance and guidance of Aziz, the attendant on Rose's

 private jet, Rose will discover BlackWorld, and unlock the secrets

 of our past, present and future.
