Generation after generation and seeing things change for the better is what I see when I read this book. I nearly cried every time a child was sold and did cry when the child finally could stay with their family. In tears it moved me. Slavery was a significant and devastating event that happened in our history, family history is difficult to track because of these events...as you know families were separated [And other horrible events that have happened to breed and sell slaves. (hide spoiler)] and records can be hard to find. Inspiring to see that sewing and quilts were past down this gives me a better understanding of how important these traditions and heirlooms are that are passed down from families. Heirlooms that can also tell the fight for freedom is especially important. What an important story which I hope is taught in classes, The book is also beautifully illustrated. I recommend this book highly! ~Ashley
