Beyond The Rim: From Slavery to Redemption in Rappahannock County, Virginia

by James D. Russell

This is a unique work of black history, telling the true story of "Sister" Caroline Terry who toiled as a slave on Rappahannock county plantations, saw the Civil War, bore the children of a white slavemaster and endured until the age of 108. The tale is told with humor and insight by her great-grandson who first heard these stories as a child.

very interesting book, recalling the story of a county in Virginia where I went several time.
It would have benefited from a map of the area, so that we can follow along. Unfortunately, most of the location (stores...) are no longer there.
