The things that Ms. Jacobs wrote- its a true glimpse into how things REALLY were and what history would lead us to believe. I was saddened by how her family was treated by slave owners and people that called themselves "friends" of her family. But it also showed the determination and courage of not only a human being but a family. It was a sad tale-but certainly one that needed to be told and one that should be read by many, many people. These are the words of someone who lived it. Not the words of someone who says-this is how it was. It's not all bad- there were some happy times as any person will experience throughout their life-but there are some many sad times, too. The STRENGTH possessed by this young beautiful woman. It's a testament to her faith and to all women worldwide.
