Graphic: Slavery, Murder, and Racism
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Rape
Realistic tale of slavery and escape. (Including lots of violence.) Amari is stolen from her village in Africa and is sold into slavery after watching her captors kill the rest of her family. We join her trip across the ocean and being bought as a birthday present for a spoiled young man. She escapes, after witnessing unbelievable horrors. And we share her search for freedom.
