I loved this book.
21 Dec 2003
Format:Hardcover
The author's beautifully determined words grabbed my heart from page one. It should be required reading in American history classes. I especially enjoyed Isabella's consciousness -- i.e.,personal relationship God/Higher Power in the true sense of the word.

An amazing, moving book
30 July 2003
Format:Hardcover
Comparable to Toni Morrison's BELOVED in its lyrical, beautifully rendered prose and sense of time and place. I learned so much from this moving, ultimately uplifting book. A masterpiece.
Another Truth About Slavery
25 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author does not spare us horribly graphic details about the early years of Sojourner's life as a slave. They sadly remind us of years when supposedly superior 'masters' were crual and barbaric and many others looked away or, as slaves, accepted their fate as workers-until- death. In this story we read about the evaporation of a culture and the endurance of the human spirit.
