I read this book and thought it was wonderful literature. This book exposed living in the 1830's. I really enjoyed how the writer expressed in detail making it possible to place oneself in that state of being. If you haven't read this book I recommened that you read it!

A great book.

Simone is thirteen. She is part European, part African, and lucky to be living free, since the place is New Orleans in the 1830s. Her aunt's slaves are not so fortunate. And when she decides to help them escape, she risks her own life. This book was written in the form of Simone's diary. It was a very good book.
