In the book Letters from a Slave Girl: The Story of Harriet Jacobs, she writes letters to her family members that have passed away or that are no longer living near her. The story does a great job of portraying the life of a young African American girl growing up in the South. All Harriet wants is freedom for entire family and her. While searching for her freedom this book shows the trials and tribulations that slaves had to go through. It also shows how unfair our world was at this time.
I really enjoy this book for the most part. It was very interesting throughout the entire book. The only thing that made it difficult to read is because some of the words were misspelled since it was supposed to be real letters from Harriet and she was having to teach herself to read and write so to make it seem real the author purposefully misspelled some of the words. Overall it was a really great book.
