Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom by Ilyon Woo

3.75

The great parts of this book are the sharing of the original story: an enslaved married couple who vow not to have children born into slavery and come up with a transgressive and dangerous plan to escape to the North, and giving context about their path after reaching the North. The lesser parts are how it feels very padded with historical context of the time to reach a specific length of book, when it could have been a slimmer volume that packed more of the original story's punch through the pages.
