One might assume that Shades of Grey has submitted to 12 Years a Slave in this novel about faith, family, and the incidents of a young lesbian mulatto finding herself while seeking freedom. Filled with captivating characters and text, this book is not the tale your mother read. Revised from Harriet Jacobs' original 1861 autobiography, 'Incidents In The Life of A Slave Girl.'
