It feels like stories about slaves/slavery are sometimes redundant these days so I was skeptical going in. But the plot kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was a really unique perspective, taking an educated mixed salve and making her “in charge” of other slaves. The writing was great. Really would love to visit the Richmond Slave Trail the author mentions in her note before I leave the area.
