Amara Johnson did everything right: studied hard, worked harder, and smiled when it hurt.
She climbed the ladder in corporate America, a place built by rules she never made and for people who rarely looked like her.
But behind the polished degrees, the big promotions, and the perfect smiles, something was missing.
No matter how much she achieved, Amara carried a deep loneliness, a quiet ache that success could never heal.
Amara wore her achievements like armor in boardrooms, where she had to fight twice as hard to be seen.
But inside, the cracks were growing.
Until one night, a dream changed everything.
A voice from long ago from her ancestors called her back.
Back to herself.
Back to a truth hidden under centuries of silence.
Following that whisper, Amara journeys across the ocean to Benin, West Africa.
In sacred forests and ancient rituals, she discovers the truth:
The emptiness she feels isn’t her failure.
It’s history.
It’s inheritance.
And it can be healed.
Still The Bones Remember is a powerful novel for every Black woman who’s ever fought to survive in spaces that made her feel small.
It is a love letter to those who built success out of pain, smiled through exhaustion, and chased dreams but still felt unseen.
Through Amara’s story, you will discover:
- The silent battles Black women face every day in America’s workplaces
- The plunging cost of hiding your true self to “belong.”
- The sacred journey of healing what was stolen and reclaiming your power
If you have ever felt invisible in rooms, you fought so hard to enter…
If you have ever chased success only to feel emptier at the top…
If you have ever carried a sadness you couldn’t name…
This story was written for you.
You are not broken.
You are not lost.
You come from strength too deep to be erased.
And it’s time to come home.
