Louisa ~ Hardback ~ Richard Emmel

Loosely based on the life of Black American poet, Phillis Wheatley, LOUISA is a riveting story of how a little African girl was captured from her happy home by the Senegal River and sold into slavery in colonial America. How she was nurtured, educated, and rose to international celebrity as an authoress, before ultimately gaining her freedom, is a truly inspiring journey for readers of all ages.
