Review

"Tracing the journey of a former slave, this biography explores the long life of Sylvia Stark, a woman who eventually reaches her goal of freedom. This is an informative biography that can serve as enrichment for a unit on discrimination, US history, women, African Americans, and freedom. Although ideally suited for children 9-13, others would also enjoy reading this book. A bibliography is included for adults and children. Thanks to Open Hand Publishing for allowing readers toview the life of a remarkable woman." -- Iowa Reading Journal
