Opening with a plain condemnation of slavery as a hateful and accursed institution, this book for children tells the life of Tidy, born into bondage. It follows her from babyhood through new homes, her first knowledge, prayer and Christian faith, step by step toward freedom. Its descriptions of Black people sometimes use the stereotypes of the period.
