Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup
5.0

This is, perhaps, the most heart-wrenching book I have ever read in my life. I cannot imagine being forced to endure what Solomon Northup faced. This is a first-hand account of America's shameful past. it is written "matter of factly" and uses actual names and events. I had a hard time reading most of it, but I'm glad that I did. This book is definitely a must read!
