Publisher's Summary

Harriet Ann Jacob's autobiography documents her life as a slave and how she attained freedom for herself and her children. Harrowing in its descriptions of sexual abuse, Jacob's slave narrative is notable for the appeal it made to abolitionist women to open their eyes to the realities of slavery. Deemed too shocking for reading audiences at the time, the book was shelved before it was published in 1861 near the start of the Civil War.

A unique insight and well narrated

A book of general interest. It never really captured me and drew out any emotion for a life that was quite profound and well beyond anything we in today's day and age could really comprehend. Interesting and well presented though.
