All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, A Black Family Keepsake by Tiya Miles
In 1850s South Carolina, an enslaved woman named Rose packed a cotton bag for her nine-year-old Ashley, knowing her daughter would soon be sold away. Embroidery added to the sack decades later by Ashley’s granddaughter, Ruth, hints at the love and resilience of this family.
