An engagingly original and nicely crafted tale of self discovery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Julie Burtinashaw's novel, The Freedom Of Jenny, is the story of Jenny Estes, a young daughter of a ex-slaves and Madagascar natives, and her family's quest to live in California. As the family realization that California is not so much the better life they had expected, The Freedom Of Jenny carries the tattered family even further north to Canada's Salt Spring Island as Jenny's responsibilities involve the whole family. An engagingly original and nicely crafted tale of self discovery, The Freedom Of Jenny is recommended as a work of entreating fiction with historically accurate occurrences as one young woman and her family strive for a new life.
