I have read books of fiction that went into more horrible treatment of American slaves than this book does.  But this book is the true story of an American slave and therefore more sad and incredulous than any fiction.  She was a very smart lady only wanting to lead a respectable life and to be treated with respect like we all want in life.  I don't want to be a spoiler of Linda's book so this is as far as I go into it.  But if you ever want to understand one lady's life as a slave in the mid 1880's then this is a book to read.  I enjoyed learning about a slave' s view of those times while feeling a great pity for how she and most slaves were treated.  I recommend this book to any and all who are interested in this time period in America.
