Publisher's Synopsis
In 1850's America, your quality of life derived from the color of your skin. This novella is a story of this divide, but more-so it is a vivid tale of love and empowerment.
This story, told through a young nanny's eyes, not only provides insight to America's past, but also lessons to be learned, and rules to live-by for current and future generations.
Allow yourself to enjoy the prose and maybe learn something about this time in America's history. Allow yourself to be immersed by the scenery. Most of all, really read the story, and through its words, find a host of important life-lessons.
With its abounding imagery and thought-provoking symbolism, Silence is a Burden is long-enough to be captivating, but not so long that you won't want to read it again!
