The characters are cardboard. The overseer is heartlessly cruel and violent.
The plantation owners selfishly preserve the status quo. Our heroine's so-called agonizing struggle over whether or not to support the institution of slavery is tedious. The dialect of the slaves is not near what it really was at that time.
The writing is ridiculously simplistic. The characters are shallow and poorly developed. If the writing showed more maturity this would have been an excellent read.

This may be an excellent book but i could not get through the first chapter with its description of the violence that sam had endured and what was going to happen to him next
