This autobiographical account chronicles the remarkable odyssey of Harriet Jacobs (1813-1897) whose dauntless spirit and faith carried her from a life of servitude and degradation in North Carolina to liberty and reunion with her children in the North.Written and published in 1861 after Jacobs' harrowing escape from a vile and predatory master, the memoir delivers a powerful and unflinching portrayal of the abuses and hypocrisy of the master-slave relationship. Jacobs writes frankly of the horrors she suffered as a slave, her eventual escape after several unsuccessful attempts, and her seven years in self-imposed exile, hiding in a coffin-like \"garret\" attached to her grandmother's porch.A rare firsthand account of a courageous woman's determination and endurance, this inspirational story also represents a valuable historical record of the continuing battle for freedom and the preservation of family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51904641630496,"sku":"NEW0486419312","price":5.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Yi5DnztdL.jpg?v=1782192445","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/incidents-in-the-life-of-a-slave-girl-dover-thrift-editions-black-history-0486419312","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
