Book Reviews of A Picture of Freedom: The Diary of Clotee, a Slave Girl, Belmont Plantation, Virginia 1859 (Dear America Series)
Book Review: You have GOT to read this one!
Summary: 5 Stars
Slave girl, Clotee, writes about her hardships, benefits (only a few) & thoughts that come with being a negro slave. She writes her likes & dislikes of her owner. Being the only slave that can read & write is hard for Clotee & she can't tell anyone! But what happens when it slips to not only one person, not two, but THREE people? Lucky one is against slavery. But Clotee still has problems of her own. Her owner is wondering how she got to speak like a white. She suspects Clotee is different & gets a little closer to the truth every time Clotee does anything wrong. Something really little may lead to something really big... & for a slave surprises keep coming. Most aren't pleasant... at all.
