Jill Lepore author of These Truths: A History of the United States In 1850s South Carolina an enslaved woman named Rose faced a crisis: the imminent sale of her daughter Ashley. Thinking quickly she packed a cotton bag for her with a few items and soon after the nine-year-old girl was separated from her mother and sold. Decades later Ashley s granddaughter Ruth embroidered this family history on the sack in spare haunting language. Historian Tiya Miles carefully traces these women s faint presence in archival records and where archives fall short she turns to objects art and the environment to write a singular history of the experience of slavery and the uncertain freedom afterward in the United States. All That She Carried is a poignant story of resilience and love passed down against steep odds. It honors the creativity and resourcefulness of people who preserved family ties when official systems refused to do so and it serves as a visionary illustration of how to reconstruct and recount their stories today.
