Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 When I was six years old, my mother died. I was sent to spend a week with my grandmother. I was now old enough to begin to think about the future, and I asked myself what they would do with me. I felt sure I would never find another mistress as kind as the one who was gone.

#2 My mistress, who was a kindly woman, had taught me the precepts of God’s Word. But when she died, her will was read, and we learned that she had bequeathed me to her sister’s daughter, a child of five years old. I was heartbroken.

#3 I was now the property of Dr. Flint, and I was brought to his house. I was met with cold looks, cold words, and cold treatment. I was glad when the night came, because I could moan and cry alone.

#4 I was often threatened with punishment if I stopped at my grandmother’s house, but she helped me feed myself by giving me food when I went to visit her. When her mistress died, Dr. Flint was appointed executor, and he told the faithful old servant that she should be sold.
