A Picture Of Freedom
Clotee Henley is a 12-year-old girl who is a slave living in Belmont Plantation, Virginia, USA. She has the most wonderful terrible secret. While doing her job of fanning her master’s son during his daily lessons with his mother or his tutor, Clotee has taught herself to read and write. She knows that if she shares her secret with anyone who she can’t trust, then she will face death or bad punishment. Suddenly, she knows that the master’s son’s tutor, Ely Harms, has a secret of his own as well. Clotee uses her secret to save herself and her friends.
This book is a non-fiction book about freedom, the disloyalty of spies and traitors, the love of life and family, and the pain of death and slavery. I recommend this book 11-17 years of age. I rate it 5 stars.
