Acerca de esta escucha
Johnny Holt Jr. comes home to Kentucky for the summer to find his father, JJ, has made alliances with a notorious slave owner, Spanish-born Edmond Maguerro, to turn Holt Lands into a million-dollar plantation.
Johnny is indifferent. Much as he hates the idea because of his liberal views about slavery, he doesn’t involve himself until he meets Elisa, one of his father’s new slaves. Johnny is smitten and convinced Elisa belongs with him in New York, where he is a law student at a prestigious college or any other world where the society is colorblind. And he goes all out to remove her from slavery and into that world.
Set in the 1800s American slavery era, I Loved a Slave follows the story of two lovers as they make their way through circumstances beyond their control to escape their reality and live in a world best imagined.

Born in West Africa in the mid-eighteenth century, Maryam Prescilla Grace—a.k.a “Momma Grace” will live a long, wondrous life marked by hardship, oppression, opportunity, and love.

The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, Southern Black community and running away at age 16, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: Their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her Black daughter in the same Southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for White, and her White husband knows nothing of her past.

She unexpectedly finds herself thrust into the bowels of slavery at the infamous Devil’s Half Acre.

A Woman of Endurance, set in nineteenth-century Puerto Rican plantation society, follows Pola, a deeply spiritual African woman who is captured and later sold for the purpose of breeding future slaves. The resulting babies are taken from her as soon as they are born. Pola loses the faith that has guided her and becomes embittered and defensive. The dehumanizing violence of her life almost destroys her. But this is not a novel of defeat but rather one of survival, regeneration, and reclamation of common humanity.

This book had lots of history written, but I loved that Eliza never gave up. She had a spirit of survival. I loved how she and Johnny were able to find their way back to each other. They were always connected in the Spirit.

challenging
wow! just WOW! The reader was simply awful. I don't know where she got that terrible slang dialect? her pronunciation of several words were laughable. I was so glad to get to its end.
The book was ok. a lot was left to the imagination. The ending was disappointing.
