First noticed this book while working at the library. Read it and loved it and the sequel The President's Daughter was excellent as well. Told in a way that you can really zone into the book. An easy flowing read with quotes at the beginning of each chapter from said individuals in the book. Since they recently in past years have done tests proving that this relationship did in fact happen I think the author captured what Young sally at 15 pregnant but free on french soil would have had to felt to return back into slavery willingly.
