Denny S. Bryce tells the story of a lesser-known princess in "The Other Princess." Born a Yoruba princess, at the age of seven, Sarah is kidnapped from her home, given a new English name, and presented to Queen Victoria as a "gift." Sarah grows up between two worlds, given opportunities and education but also constantly put on display for the queen's own purposes. As she grows older, the memories of her childhood still haunt her, as do the many obstacles she faces in the world of white, wealthy English society. Intelligent and determined, she puts her talents to the test as she seeks what she has always wanted: a place to belong.
