This is by far one of the best memoirs I have ever read. It mixes poetry with history and has an instantly recognizable voice. A true must-read if you want to understand Black history.

Wow. I thought I knew her story but I knew nothing. The things this woman has been through. It’s eye opening. It’s horrific. It’s important. I hope everyone gets a chance to read her story and takes her advice to heart. She learned so much. She has much that we can learn from her. This is an essential memoir.
