I loved it

I gave The Journey Of Hannah four stars because no story can be perfect. The Journey of Hannah is about a girl who is sold to a very kind Master and Mistress called the Duvanes to help care for their expected baby, but when the baby and Mother die Hannah is no use to her Master anymore. Then she is sold to the Weston family who is very cruel to her and slap her often. They also force her to steal from coustemers who are staying at the tavern they own. Hannah would have not been able to make it had it not been for kind,sweet Miss. Rachel who lives nextdoor to the Weston family. When Hannah runs away she finds her previous owner Alex Duvane who leads her to Christ and helps her to find a true,loving home.

Marvelous!

Hannah is a young girl who has been taken away from her family and sold to a young couple who needs a girl to take care of the ailing mistress. They are good to Hannah and she's happy, but when the mistress and her baby dies, Hannah is sold to another couple named the Westons, who need a girl to clean their inn. Unlike the first family, this one is very cruel to Hannah, and she is forced to steal from the people who come to their tavern. Hannah knows this is wrong, but she will be beaten if she refuses to cooperate. One day while sneaking out while Mrs. Weston took a nap; Hannah meets an old Jewish woman who takes a liking to her. The woman offers to buy Hannah, but the cruel Westons wouldn't dream of letting her go. So Hannah is forced to be content to visit with the kind woman a few times a week. But Hannah is still treated badly at the tavern, and one night, to escape having to pickpocket the sleeping customers, Hannah runs away. A family of freed slaves going to a revival meeting meets her, and they take Hannah along. There whom should she meet up with but her former master, Mr. DuVane! He explains the way of salvation to her, and she accepts Christ as her Savior, which made her free in soul, if not in body. Hannah does not want to go back to the Westons, but Mr. DuVane tells her it the right thing to do. Will she, and will she ever find a happy home? Find out in this exciting book!I loved the story of Hannah, because to me, she seemed real. She sounded like someone I would like to have for a best friend, and through the book, she because a friend to me. I sympathized with her troubles, and rejoiced with her when she found the way to salvation and became a Child of the King. Her story is a must-read for anyone, of any age, and even if you're a Christian or not. I promise you, you'll love it.

My daughter loved The Journey of Hannah

I purchased this book for my daughter at a school book fair, and insisted that she read it because I felt it was important for her to understand the history of slavery, from a child's perspective. Before she finished reading it, she had to sit and tell me almost every detail of the story of Hannah. Hannah is an inspirational story that not only helps pre-teens to understand the life of black children in the southern states during the time of slavery, but it also challenges them to make good choices today.
