To say I loved this book is a bit of an incongruity. How can someone love actual accounts from American, mid-19th refugee slaves, full-blown in matter-of-fact prose? There are horrors here that will drop the most hardened cynic to their knees.I originally picked up the book as primary research for a future novel, and found myself once again climbing aboard my human rights soap box as I did as a girl in the late '60s and early '70s.
