Unforgettable story of African slave trade - the horrors and cruelty of that era were well depicted. Unbelievable that this is so true. Follows a African teen from her being brutally taken from her village, the disgust and violence of slave ship trek, and the auctioning of her to a plantation owner, whom gives her to his son as a birthday present.
The relationship between her and a white indentured servant teen on the plantation is the ongoing basis of the book. I will never forget this story.
Winner of Coretta Scott King Award.
