A touching story of a young girl's life from slavery to freedom and into old age, you will experience a lifetime of insight to the world and how it works.

Illustrated with such delightful art work and beautifully compiled, this book is a true must have in any library, personal or school. I cannot imagine any more perfect gift to your child's school library, as not only does this book illustrate the hardships of the lives of slaves, but the beautiful way one young lady managed to survive and even learn from her hardships. As Martha Ann grows up she is taught the art of sewing by her mother. Taking this art to a perfect art form in itself, she creates a quilt for a woman who lives a life so very different from hers, yet that she feels she has a connection with simply because the Queen has kept her and her family safe from being brought back to slavery. As you see the young girl develop into a woman, having her own family and creating her own life and life's struggles, you realize the impact one's parents have on a child not just as they grow up but throughout their life. Something as simple as a small, red box can take on new meaning when it portrays your ability to live a dream, whether that dream is freedom or meeting someone dear to your heart. “Martha Ann’s Quilt for Queen Victoria” is truly a wonderful and touching story that will remain embedded in your heart for years to come. |
