If you have ever wondered about slavery in America this is a must read. You may think you have some idea but until you read this southern cruelty will truly evade you! She tells you not only of her experiences but of those she knew and even those she heard of.She was treated better than most slaves and acknowledges that fact but she was still a slave to be bought, sold, and treated as her master pleased. Still she tried and eventually succeeded at acquiring her freedom though not as she had hoped.Still her trials as a child, teen, woman and mother were not in vain as she not only survives her ordeal but 164 years later she is a measuring stick for our progress in America.I think she would be proud but not satisfied with the injustices that we still face occasionally.
