(3) YA Sarah, a fourteen-year-old slave, is haunted by dreams of being kidnapped from Africa ten years before and of her mother’s murder. Yearning for freedom, education, and love, she escapes the plantation to start a new life in Ohio as Anna, a free black woman. This lengthy, wide-reaching story hits on many slave-narrative themes; an author’s note helps determine fact and fiction.
