Taylor Franklin Bankole
Zahra Moss was born outside the neighborhood and was homeless until Richard Moss “bought” her from her mother. Although Richard was sexist and his other wives treated Zahra cruelly, she still liked living in the Moss household simply because of the security it provided. Along with Lauren and Harry, Zahra is one of the only survivors of the neighborhood massacre. She is tough as a result of having grown up on the streets, yet also kind. She is illiterate, but is taught by Lauren how to read and write. She and Lauren develop a close friendship, and Zahra is supportive of Lauren’s leadership of the group.
