The devil three times : a novel / Rickey Fayne.
"Yetunde awakens aboard a slave ship en route to the United States, the spirit of her dead sister her only companion. Desperate to survive the hell that awaits her at their destination, Yetunde finds help in an unexpected form: the Devil himself. The Devil, seeking a way to reenter the pearly gates of heaven, decides to prove himself to an indifferent God by protecting Yetunde. Their bargain extends far beyond Yetunde's mortal lifespan. Over the next 150 years, through Reconstruction, both World Wars, Jim Crow, and even the Covid-19 pandemic, the Devil visits Yetunde's descendants in their darkest hour of need, offering them his own version of salvation"-- Provided by publisher.
