The book is an awesome narrative on the slave trade in Africa. Although the book is not based on a true story, the narratives of the events were surreal. This book clearly provides the heart felt pain of the horrible and inhumane treatment of the abducted Africans. The protagonist Aminata, prevailed after experiencing many terrible experiences in slavery to returning home and becoming a giant icon to assist with the passing of the Anti-slavery law. Aminata was mentally strong enough to overcome the challenges of slavery. Excellent read!!! (with emphasis)
