4.		Slave Girl: The Diary of Clotee, Virginia, USA 1859 (My Story) from Scholastic Price: £4.49 Customer Review: I'd just like to add that one of the main reasons for the air of authenticity that this book carries, is that it's a true story, compiled from interviews given by the real-life Clotee when she was an old, free, woman.
