267 pp. | Simon | November, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-689-85187-1 $$16.95
(4) YA Beginning in 1775 with her early childhood memories and ending with her flight to freedom in 1796, Oney Judge recalls her days as a privileged slave in George Washington's household and her gradual realization that personal liberty matters more than material comforts. Based on a real life, this fictional memoir is generally well paced, although historical material occasionally intrudes on the narrative. Bib.
