A Historical Fiction Favorite

I recommend reading Hang A Thousand Trees With Ribbons by Ann Rinaldi. It is a book about Phillis Wheatley. She was a slave at first, but her family who bought her was nice. When their son, Nathaniel, teaches her to read and write, she starts to write poems. Through the tough times of losing her mom and not seeing a friend, to the good times of having a book and getting married, she had courage.
