Love the illustrations. Great mix of historical stories and personal anecdotes. Especially enjoyed parts about how difficult it can be to find records of slave revolts.

This book tells an incredible story. It provides a visual depiction of what the slave trade actually looked like. It describes the story of the authors journey to find the truth about her ancestors past. It is as dark and haunting as it is illuminating. Rebecca Hall is a hero for writing this book.
