A Slave’s Story is a fictionalized account of not just one slave’s life, but the tribulations and misery of many American slaves. Darkness cannot comprehend why she is a slave, simply because of the color of her skin. Throughout her childhood she vows to one day have what she believes her white masters a life free from suffering. Because of her rebellious nature, she is sold at auction to a brother and sister on a lone hemp farm and learns what it’s like to live and work alongside a white family. When one of her owners head off to fight for the Union during the Civil War, his sister bonds with the feisty young slave and educates her, helping to create a well-mannered lady. After the injured brother returns from the War, master and slave fall in love; the greatest taboo of that time period. Against all odds, and with a surprise ending, they succeed in creating happiness in a tumultuous period in United States history.
