A Picture of Freedom: The Diary of Clotee, a Slave Girl, Belmont Plantation, Virginia 1859 by Patricia C. McKissack

5.0

I'll admit that sometimes I have a heart of stone, and I rarely emotionally connect with books. But this book hit me right in the feels. I became so immersed in this book and with the characters that it was like being on an emotional rollercoaster. The plot flowed seamlessly and the characters really seemed to come to life. This is a great book that is both heartbreaking and inspiring and overall very thought provoking. It is definitely one of the best books in the Dear America series. Highly recommended!
