Jimmy Barnes is a 132-year old former slave. He has been seeking reparations for a century- specifically the return of his father's land. He is also searching for his sister, Auddy, who he was separated from. His efforts take him all the way to France-and through the administrations of every President from Grant to Reagan. I gave this book three stars for two reasons: 1.As a history buff I really loved the panorama of Presidents and events as Jimmy experienced them. However, there was a twist at the end of the book that truly disappointed me and spoiled a good part of this book for me. I will give you a hint:Jimmy isn't totally who he seems to be. I recommend this book for history lovers.
