This is the story of a girl that was born into a royal family in Africa. Her parents were killed by men taking people as slaves and killing the rest. She survived and was to be sacrificed, but was saved by an English Captain, who was trying to stop the slave trade. He brought her back to England and she became a protege to Queen Victoria. It was an interesting story about a black princess growning up in this era.
