Book Review: Sally by J. Schlenker

Sally Barnes was a real person, born a slave in 1858 and dying at the age of 109 in 1967. Using genealogical records and interviews, the author has put together an entertaining and interesting story of Sally's life.
I'm a genealogist myself, so I found the story especially absorbing. Sally's life covers a long period of time and the little pictures of her life in rural Kentucky span slavery to Dr. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks.
My only quibble is I would have liked some family trees included. Some of the lines, especially the white families who Sally lived with, became tangled, and I wasn't always sure who was a Musik or a Bonzo.
I found this a very interesting read. I was gifted this book and I'm writing a review of my own volition.
