<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Harriet Jacobs' letters--written to lost relatives and friends, and imagined by the author--provide a microscopic look at what slavery meant for a young black female in the mid 1800s.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Based on the true story of Harriet Ann Jacobs, <i>Letters from a Slave Girl</i> reveals in poignant detail what thousands of African American women had to endure not long ago, sure to enlighten, anger, and never be forgotten.</b> <p/>Harriet Jacobs was born into slavery; it's the only life she has ever known. Now, with the death of her mistress, there is a chance she will be given her freedom, and for the first time Harriet feels hopeful. But hoping can be dangerous, because disappointment is devastating. Harriet has one last hope, though: escape to the North. And as she faces numerous ordeals, this hope gives her the strength she needs to survive.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mary E.
