This was a great book to actually hear how slavers were treated as property and how cruel their masters really were. What a sad part of the American history. Let us never repeat this again! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

As expected, it is heartbreaking and made me angry at every turn of the page.
The fact that it is written by the hand of an actual former slave, instead of retelling of her story, makes it so much more powerful.
This woman was extraordinary.2 people found this helpful
