The craziest part of this book was Susan being sold in the place of her sister. And being nearly white, it wasn’t a secret that her daddy wasn’t black. I think Susan going to Richmond was far better than Ellen. 

And Oliver - the free man, he helped Susan see herself and who she could be if she was truly free - which she became.
