The more great historical fiction I am exposed to, the more I realize how much we have to learn from the past. Books like this one show us the humanity of historical figures in a way that resonates with our hearts. This book about Harriet is just such an opportunity. We all know what an inspiring figure she was, but don't often stop to think what her life was really like. This new title gives us the chance to walk some miles in her shoes and learn from her.
