I have just spent three weeks reading the WPA former-slave narratives.  This memoir is certainly a contrast, written from the other side of the portico.  It was written for the family's private consumption just after the turn of the 20th century, and I am convinced it is just as honest as the author could make it.  As a first-person account, she is pretty careful to "just tell what she knows", and I appreciate that.  Highly readable,  and I appreciate having such truly rare things available on Kindle.
