The Secrets of Mary Bowser/ Lois Leveen/ 450 pages

Mary Bowser was a freed slave who returned to Richmond, VA, during the Civil War.  She had been educated in the North.  This is a fictional supposition of what it would have been like for her to be educated and come back to spy on Jefferson Davis by working as a slave in his home.  This was a page-turner!  Very informative and I'm so glad the author decided to take a stab and guessing what life would have been like for this extraordinary woman!
