I was surprised to learn this story is loosely based on the Grimke sisters of Charleston, South Carolina. They become crusaders for women's rights and fighters against slavery. Eventually, Sarah enlists the help of her sister Angelina to help the cause. It's not an easy journey they take, but a remarkable one of self-discovery and it will keep you turning the pages. The two girls navigate the cruel and abusive world of slavery and both fight to escape their current entrapment. Sarah steadfast in her beliefs against slavery at a very young age rejects the gift but is forced to accept Handful as her property. She's a lovable character and brings to life the hardships of what it must have felt like to be a slave. Handful is 12 years old, spirited and dreams of freedom. It begins with Sarah, an 11-year-old girl, who is given a slave name Hetty, better known as Handful for her birthday. PBR Book Review: (by- Andrea) Sue Monk Kidd delivers an emotional story about slavery.
