Like most kids who went to school in the United States, I learned the basics of who Harriet Tubman was and what she did. She was always portrayed as a hero, "Moses", the woman who freed slaves. But beyond that there was never much that humanized her or made her seem real. With this sort of portrayal, it can be easy to forget that she was a real, flesh and blood woman with her own flaws and struggles. This book already has me hooked simply because it explores this side of her. I love getting this look into her inner workings and thoughts. The author has taken very real facts about her that are so often overlooked, and used them to create a fully realized vision. The line that particularly struck me was the idea of Harriet wanting to "not be Moses for a while". As a mortal woman, she had to have experienced moments of self doubt and exhaustion, and kudos to Cobbs for bringing it to the light. Her writing is flowing and organic, which lends itself well to what she is aiming to do here. There is no flowery language, no big, pretentious words, just the normal poetry of a life lived in service to others. It paints a picture that is immersive and fascinating, the world that Tubman inhabits finally becomes real. I find it more inspiring to read about heroes that were scared or flawed because it makes it more relatable, so this version of Tubman's story is just perfect for me. Her story has never been so interesting.
