Mind Of A Slave

"The life we're living is the easiest of the difficult."
Cass Jinney Jackson is a Louisianan slave girl. She has recently moved to a plantation near the woods, but her life there is far from ordinary. Growing up as the civil war rages on, she finds herself surrounded by cruelty and lies. Then she finds out that her own mother has a terrifying secret, one that will change her view on life forever. And when the boy she has fallen in love with is sent away to the battlefields, she struggles to keep calm, but continues to hold on to the hope that some day she will be free.
