This is a must-read for anyone interested in African history or the history of slavery. Abico’s story is both heartbreaking and inspiring, and it is a reminder of the courage and resilience of the human spirit.

I’m not sure what to make of this book. It’s well-written, but the story is hard to believe. I’m not sure if the author is trying to tell a true story or just a tall tale.
