Book Description:
When her master is betrothed to a woman who conceals a tragic secret, Hannah Crafts, a young slave on a wealthy North Carolina plantation, runs away in a bid for her freedom up North. Pursued by slave hunters, imprisoned by a mysterious and cruel captor, held by sympathetic strangers, and forced to serve a demanding new mistress, she finally makes her way to freedom in New Jersey. Her compelling story provides a fascinating view of American life in the mid-1800s and the literary conventions of the time. Written in the 1850's by a runaway slave, THE BONDWOMAN'S NARRATIVE is a provocative literary landmark and a significant historical event that will captivate a diverse audience.

This book truly gives the reader of sense of the time and circumstance of Hannah Crafts. I thouroughly enjoyed the book. I have also recommended it to my high school history students, and all who have taken the time to read it have come away with a deepened sense of understanding and compassion. Highly recommend!
