This is a hard book to read. It goes into great detail about what the female slave (Main character) has to deal with throughout her life. If you are not prepared to get immersed into the horrors of slavery, I would suggest not reading this book. If you can handle it, this book is eye opening and should be, in my opinion, be read at least once by every adult.
