12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northrup
This unforgettable memoir was the basis for the Academy Award winning film 12 Years a Slave. This is the true story of Solomon Northup, who was born and raised as a freeman in New York. He lived the American dream, with a house and a loving family - a wife and three kids. Then one day he was drugged, kidnapped, and sold into slavery in the deep south. These are the true accounts of his twelve hard years as a slave - many believe this memoir is even more graphic and disturbing than the film. His extraordinary journey proves the resiliency of hope and the human spirit despite the most grueling and formidable of circumstances.

One powerfully graphic description of the subjugation and horror that was slavery and the sheer will to endure and overcome. A very definite five star rating*****.
