About this audiobook

Following the international uproar caused by her most famous novel, the author compiles a massive collection of evidence to prove that the horrors she described were real. Through court records, advertisements for runaways, and firsthand accounts, she exposes the systemic cruelty of the slave trade. This powerful document serves as both a defense of her fiction and an unshakeable testimony against the institution of slavery.
