From bestselling historical novelist Sidney St. James comes a sweeping, cinematic portrait of one of America's most extraordinary women — a story of courage, conviction, and destiny that shaped the very soul of a nation. Born into slavery, denied her name, her children, and her freedom, Sojourner Truth rose from the shadows of oppression with a voice that thundered across the ages. In this powerful novelization of her life, JAMES brings to life the woman whose courage defied the limits of her time and whose faith carried her through every storm.
