Sojourner Truth was born into slavery but possessed a mind and a vision that knew no bounds. So Tall Within traces her life from her painful childhood through her remarkable emancipation to her incredible leadership in the movement for rights for both women and African Americans. Her story is told with lyricism and pathos by Gary D. Schmidt, one of the most celebrated writers for children in the 21st century. This audiobook is just right for introducing this legendary figure to a new generation of children.

I think the narrator was too overly dramatic.
I did appreciate the story in ever sense.
The words were written as prose. not poetry.
thank you forputti g it on audible, so I could experience it.
Historic figures such as this need to be made more public.
This is not the story for only the Slaves ancestors and descendants, but for all Americans.

Gary D. Schmidt's book is a beautifully, sympathetically, and accurately written biography, and for its content, I highly recommend this book in its physical form.

The affected, overdramatic, and dreadfully-phrased audio narration of this book detracts from the reader's understanding and connection with Sojourner Truth's story and indomitable strength.

Excellent Book, Insufferable Narration

I wanted to listen to this story but it’s no way I can listen and get any understanding of what’s going on with this reader. She is SO DRAMATIC!! Read the story and yes, emphasize but Dern!! TOO MUCH.. tone it down about 4 notches. Couldn’t even make it through chapter 1

Waaaay too dramatic
