This book is about a African American orphan who a slave and she belongs to a rich family. They made her work alot and hard. She was also abused. Frado, the orphan, was really a free black, but she was only an orphan, and was left behind by her mother. The family that took her in treats her badly. The mother treats her worse than the other though.
This book is really sad and really helps you understand that evil behind Slavery. Harriet really helps bring out the bad in slavery if you never understood how bad it really was. You can feel the pain of Frado from this book.
I recommend this book to many people. It is a good book. Its a good book to read when you have some spare time. It can get emtional at times though.
