A PICTURE OF FREEDOM: THE DIARY OF CLOTEE, A SLAVE GIRL, BELMONT PLANTATION, VIRGINIA 1859 by Patricia C. McKissack

This book is about a young slave girl named Clotee on a Virginia plantation in 1859. The young slave secretly taught herself to write while fanning the owner's son William. While he is in school Clotee is discovered by Mr. Harris the sub, who is actually trying to free the slaves.

Clotee was struggling against society and slavery.

At first Clotee was a shy girl, now she is the conductor of the underground railroad.

Clotee reminds me of Abe Lincoln because they both wanted freedom for the slaves.

RATING: *****
