Sharyn Flanagan's Reviews > Behind the Scenes: Or, Thirty Years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House

I liked this autobiography WAY more than I expected to. It had an easy pace even while tackling such a historically painful time in our nation. Very personal writing, which I always prefer. The Lincoln White House, Washington and the pre-Civil War era seen from Elizabeth Keckley's (sometimes spelled Keckly) view is so clear and illuminating. This book makes me want to read more about all three of those things, as well as re-watching the movie "Lincoln." A highly recommended read!
