Wonderful Book

This is a great look at her life. It will make you think and want to do more to improve the lives of others today.

Amazing first person account

First off, I want to say from an oral history perspective, this is an amazing account of life as a slave. Some of those stories are very hard. But the second thing I want to say is that this is about a woman of character and how she developed that character and a deep faith in God in the midst of terrible hardships. Amazing book.
