  • Sarah's Psalm: A Novel (1996) -- Winner 1977 Literary Award for Best Fiction from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association Awards
    In this searing first novel, author Florence Ladd tells the story of Sarah Stewart, a young black Harvard graduate whose growing interest in Africa and declining interest in her failing marriage lead her down a path of self-discovery, love, and the choice between loyalty and truth.

    It is the 1960s and America is in the midst of the
    Civil Rights Movement, to which Sarah's husband, Lincoln, is dedicated. Sarah decides to travel to Senegal to study and work with Ibrahim Mangane, a Senegalese writer and filmmaker whose passion for his work and his country intrigue her. This is a lifelong dream come true for Sarah, but not without a price. While Lincoln remains passionate about the movement at home, she longs for the beauty and mystery of Africa.

    This is at once a story of the emerging American
    Civil Rights Movement and the beginning of Afrocentrism. It is also the story of love and a woman's coming of age. Lyrical in style, Sarah's Psalm tells of one young black woman's captivation with Africa and all things African, her husbands concurrent obsession with the American Civil Rights Movement, and the rift it creates between them.
