I won't go into details as that has already been well covered by other reviewers, but this book should be required reading in every high school.

I couldn't put this book down. It is truly an inspirational story of faith and strength in the face of almost unbelievable adversity.Get more detail about Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Written by Herself.
