All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley's Sack, a Black Family Keepsake by Tiya Miles
OVERVIEW
In 1850s South Carolina nine-year-old Ashley was sold in a slave auction, taking nothing to her new life except a cotton bag, hastily packed by her mother; decades later, Ashleyâ€s granddaughter stitched the family story onto the bag. Tiya Miles traces the womenâ€s story and accounts by other enslaved people to construct a sense of plantation life.
