4.0
Listened to the Audio book.
A first account view on what it was like to be traded and treated as a slave before, during and after the Civil War. It has graphic recounts of violence faced by those trapped in the brutal practice. Told in a chronological order and focusing on various aspects of "a day in the life of" you get a small idea of the cruel practices used against children, women and men that were different only in skin color. It was beautiful to see the stories of how strong some of their spirits were and of those that made it through terrible situations.
