Publisher's summary

Sojourner Truth was born into slavery but possessed a mind and a vision that knew no bounds. So Tall Within traces her life from her painful childhood through her remarkable emancipation to her incredible leadership in the movement for rights for both women and African Americans. Her story is told with lyricism and pathos by Gary D. Schmidt, one of the most celebrated writers for children in the 21st century. This audiobook is just right for introducing this legendary figure to a new generation of children.

Story peiceless

I think the narrator was too overly dramatic.
I did appreciate the story in ever sense.
The words were written as prose. not poetry.
thank you forputti g it on audible, so I could experience it.
Historic figures such as this need to be made more public.
This is not the story for only the Slaves ancestors and descendants, but for all Americans.
