Character Bio: main character
Amilcar Cabral Smith
Amilcar Cabral Smith doesn’t have any memories of his life younger than four. He can’t sleep by himself or he’ll have terrible nightmares all night and wake up exhausted. From the age of four to seven he lived in an orphanage in Atlanta, where he was constantly ridiculed and beat up because of his name and inability to sleep alone. When he was seven he was adopted by a twenty six year old single woman who wanted kids but thought having one of her own would slow down her career. The woman Rosemary Patrice Brown also adopted a five year old girl named Li Mei Sun.
