I have read very little about slavery.  This book was very enlightening to me.  One thing I read about was the children of slaves being sold to other owners was a shock.  That never occured to me. I guess I assumed they all stayed together as a family.  I have little doubt that most of what she writes about did actually happen.  I do think there may be a bit of embellishment to the story.  Regardless, if even three quarters of what she wrote about is true it is a travesty that people were treated so badly.  No one in this day and age could comprehend what it must have been like to live that way. I enjoyed the book but at the same time my heart went out to all the people she mentioned as being held and abused.
