I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I have never read anything about her life until now. She came from a very large family. She had seven brothers and 3 sisters. Her father was very religious. He favored his sons and expected them all to be pastors and his daughters were expected to remain in the background unheard. Harriet was against slavery and she spoke out strongly against it. This is depicted in her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin.
