I just finished "My Jim" by Nancy Rawles. It's a narration by the fictional wife of the slave Jim from the novel "Huckleberry Finn" written by Mark Twain. It's a lot more realistic than the old story, and talks of heartbreak, racism; the conditions of slavery in the south, and yet, there's also some hope and positive energy, because the grand daughter is FREE.
Makes me want to go back and read Huckleberry Finn again, as an adult.
