The author follows the heroine from age nine, when she is sold at auction, through her transformation into an itinerant preacher against the evils of slavery. In a starred review, PW called it a "vibrant story with powerful content. The artwork skillfully approaches the abstract—twisting traditional perspective in a way that illuminates Sojourner's groundbreaking vision and voice." Ages 7-10. (Dec.)
