This story from Harriet's childhood is a record of courage. Even more, it's the story of God's faithfulness as He prepares her for her adult calling to lead more than 300 people out of slavery through the Underground Railroad.

Imagines the search for faith experienced by the ten-year-old blind daughter of John Bunyan, author of "Pilgrim's Progress," during her father's imprisonment for preaching found contrary to the edicts of the Church of England.

I really recommend this book if you are studying the Mayflower and Pilgrams. It's a really beautiful book and I love it! I had to read it for school but as I was reading it, I actually began to like the book. And that is really rare with school books. Great read.½

NCLA Review - A young Muslim girl is captured in her native Gambia and taken to Boston, where she is sold as a slave. She is lucky enough to be bought by a kind Christian family, who teach her to speak, read and write in English. The powerful narrative of this fictionalized biography of Phyllis Wheatley provides an interesting look at the struggle for freedom in Boston in the years leading up to the American Revolution. Poems and letters by Wheatley are incorporated into the story, which includes her conversion to Christianity and her release to freedom. This inspirational story is appropriate for ages 8-12.
