This book is a fantastic read for those who know little about American slavery prior to the civil war, and those who know a lot about it. I would also say, this book is an excellent example of creative nonfiction, somehow having the flow and pacing of a fictional tale without ever straying beyond the scope of reality. The descriptions of some of the most challenging moments of seperation really hit home knowing these are real lives that are documented elsewhere. I just can't believe this story isn't more wildly known considering their association with major historical figures.

Great true story - I hope it becomes a movie or a series, so it's a little more accessible to a general audience.
