Sarah Grimké is the middle daughter. The one her mother calls difficult and her father calls remarkable. On Sarah's eleventh birthday, Hetty 'Handful' Grimké is taken from the slave quarters she shares with her mother, wrapped in lavender ribbons, and presented to Sarah as a gift. Sarah knows what she does next will unleash a world of trouble. She also knows that she cannot accept. And so, indeed, the trouble begins ...
A very absorbing read, great characters in shocking situations, although a book about slavery is never going to be a comfortable read.
I didn't realise until I got to the end of the book that the story (with a little dramatic licence) is a true one.
