The inspiring story of Sojourner Truth begins as young Isabella is being sold at a slave auction. How did she overcome the crushing difficulties of slavery to become a bold crusader of national renown? Author Anne Rockwell provides the answers in this engaging and authentic narrative of Sojourner Truth's transformation. ALSO INCLUDED: Renee Joshua-Porter performs Sojourner Truth's most famous speech "Ain't I A Woman?", as well as Truth's account of her visit with President Abraham Lincoln. Two hymns are included as well - one that Truth wrote and often sang and her favorite hymn. Great for middle school and family listening too.
