Jona

At the age of just 17 years old, Trinity Davis published her work, Jona. The journey to becoming an author has been one of making her bare thoughts into real words. Since early childhood, she has always come up with characters, plots, and literary themes but Jona was the story she knew needed to be told with depth.

Jona, as a young slave struggles to understand what freedom means. The expected sense of freedom among slaves to be merely running away or escaping the plantation does not so easily bring closure to Jona. He is forced to have this deeper reflection of the concept when introduced to the idea of “touching freedom”— for the concept to be so personally real that it’s palpable.

While he initially hates the thought of adopting this perspective, he takes a mental shift throughout the book, reflecting deeply on himself and other characters. Freedom is defined by each man, but the similitude is that every man must learn to touch it for themselves. Slavery only makes Jona a stranger to freedom, but his experiences and emotions of any person besides their backgrounds such as friendship, betrayal, and first love are all the same. It’s a heartbreaking story, yet hopeful at last.
