RGG: Biography of Sojourner Truth. Very informational; not very literary.

While I do like Sojourner Truth, there's no avoiding the fact that this book is just poorly written and a pain to read. (

Book description

In 1797, a slave named Isabella was born in New York. After being freed in 1827, she chose the name by which she has been remebered long after her death - Sojourner Truth. Truth was a preacher, an abolitionist, an activist for the rights of both blacks and women. Although she couldn't read, she could quote the Bible word for word, and was a powerful speaker. An inposing six feet tall, with a profound faith in God's love and a deep rich voice, she stirred audiences around the country until her death in 1883. -Back Cover
