A picture of what life was like for an American slave. It was a gripping tale, very emotional and often challenging. Eye-opening for me, because I don’t think I’ve ever had the opportunity to experience a story from a slave’s perspective, and it’s such an important perspective to get to witness. I hope to get to read more by this author.
