Linda becomes the target of his unwanted advances, which she temporarily evades by bearing the children of another man.

It is unfathomable to even begin to understand what it is like not being allowed to just be... What human beings are doing to others because of some stupid backwards thinking to this day is despicable... We all bleed. We all see the same sun. We all breath the same air. We all die one day. We are biologically the same from the inside - why does the outside matter...?
We need to continue to tell about these lives to never forget...

Heartbroken in every way

Incidents in the life of a Slave Girl is disappointing, yet still amazing journey through a black woman’s experience through slavery. The autobiography sheds light on the numerous different aspects of being an enslaved person and the extent of white supremacy utilized by any means in regards to maintaining power. Linda’s story shines the spotlight on the inhumanity of slavery. The mistreatment and inconsideration in regards to other human beings and is a reflection of ones morals.
Learn some history and listen up! This book my teach you something about yourself you didn’t know.

A Story of Resilience and Sacrifice in Suffering

Excellent. The story of Linda's life and struggles and her reflections of how the evil institution of slavery affected her life and society are congruent to the continued oppression of African Americans today. Very interesting to read after the murder of George Floyd and ongoing protests.

I listened to this, while at work.

I truly appreciate this woman's struggles, courage, vulnerability, loss and candor.

My heart wept and cringed, as well as smiled with hope.

Exceptional writing and narration. A beautiful woman with a wrenchingly beautiful story.

Very informative. Few people realize the realities of slavery and how many generations and families were victimized and brutalized by the immoral practice. "Enjoyed" the author's story. Regret that slavery was allowed to exist in this country at all and for so long. Still too much horror and victimization in the world...in the name of race, sex, religion, point of view. God help all of mankind to find a way to live in peace and civility.

Brings the reality of slavery closers to mind
