The Word
A story of Cayor Where the Ancestors Speak
The Word is a sweeping historical literary novel set in nineteenth-century Senegal at the edge of colonial invasion. At its center is Aïssa, a young woman who discovers that the most powerful force in civilization is not war, but the sacred ancestral word — a force capable of restoring memory, identity, and belonging itself. As French expansion threatens the kingdom of Cayor, Aïssa becomes the invisible spiritual force behind the resistance of future king Lat Dior, fighting not only for land, but for the survival of an entire civilization’s soul. Rich, cinematic, and spiritually profound, The Word is an African epic about devotion, remembrance, and the refusal to let history disappear.
The Medicine of Remembering
The Medicine of Remembering is a profound exploration of healing, identity, and human consciousness through the lens of medicine, ancestry, and spiritual remembrance. Blending science, history, poetic storytelling, and holistic wisdom, Dr. Amy Holda Gueye invites readers on a journey back to the parts of themselves modern life taught them to forget.
Through reflections on trauma, womanhood, ancestral memory, and the failures of transactional healthcare, the book reimagines healing as more than symptom management — it becomes a return to wholeness. Rooted in African wisdom traditions and integrative medicine, The Medicine of Remembering challenges readers to awaken, reclaim their humanity, and remember the medicine that has always lived within them.
