One of my top 10 reads of 2023 will recommend everyone I know to read it.

Such a devastating insight into slavery traumatic experiences, brought to life via following James, his thoughts & feelings as freedoms his family & other slaverys he finds on his way.

It is beautifully written & I will never forget this. This book should be on education curriculum, to change racist abusive & controlled cultures around the world.
