Absolutely phenomenal。 Karen Cook Bell really sheds light on a topic that hasn't received a lot of attention in the history world。 Books about slavery tend to lean towards the 1800s， but there aren't anywhere near as many about slavery in the 18th century。 Even more scarce than that is books about slavery in the 18th century that are about WOMEN。 Easy to read， poignant， and authentic， Running from Bondage is a must read for people interested in American history。 I'm a public historian at an 18th Absolutely phenomenal。 Karen Cook Bell really sheds light on a topic that hasn't received a lot of attention in the history world。 Books about slavery tend to lean towards the 1800s， but there aren't anywhere near as many about slavery in the 18th century。 Even more scarce than that is books about slavery in the 18th century that are about WOMEN。 Easy to read， poignant， and authentic， Running from Bondage is a must read for people interested in American history。 I'm a public historian at an 18th century house museum （state historic site） with a background in interpreting slavery， and I would love to see this book offered in our gift shop。 。。。more
