Talk about showing. The book's title is TRUTH. It is fictionalized biography. I have read and understand that slave families were separated all my life but Truth shows it so strongly that no one will be same who reads it. Her meeting with Lincoln is fascinating. Information came from journals. Journals were kept for her until she learned to write herself. This is more than worth the read. Slavery and women's rights.MusicCityMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319822143520968568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-6249709788666046652008-07-30T19:24:00.000-04:002008-07-30T19:24:00.000-04:00I've been reading War between the States material ...I've been reading War between the States material lately. Finally read Killing Angels. These are the days of the Gettysburg confrontation from the different Generals' POV. I also read the new book about the Todds. They were really a dysfunctional family. Abe had it really rough. He had no support from anyone. Most of the Todds were Southerners and quite a few not real nice folk. I also read Rhett's People for a fictional version of Rhett Butler's life. All very goodMusicCityMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319822143520968568noreply@blogger.com
