this is about a young slave girl who runs away from her white father and masters plantation, and meets and falls in love with a young indian chief

[Arthur · Rating 1 out of 5]

I would give negative points if I could. It was so ridiculous I first thought it was a parody. I don't think that I have ever read a book that treated every character with such disdain. An enslaved woman who remains madly in love with her master, despite his having sold off all of their children, save the heroine. A husband who can't figure out why his wife scorns him as he has multiple children with his mistress. A master who has determined within the space of 5 minutes that his enslaved field-hand daughter will move into the "big house" and live as his other children do. This after 18 years of letting her work in the fields. A wife who finds her husband attempting to rape his half-sister inconsequential; would he please just find another mistress to slake his lust on?

What good is it to have this app if you can't read any of the books you want to read? Kind of a worthless app if you ask me. :-(

I give the book 5 stars since I think it's absolutely remarkable. You really learn how the Indians were treated. Sad situation. Awesome books.
