~Uncle Tom's Cabin~

Ah Yes, Classics are more than just books that have made the top seller list, or reviewed a million times...Classics aren't measured by how many copies are sold, or the 1000's bought. A classic book is defined by the reader......If it touches the reader, and is an inspiration....then that makes it a classic!

I've had the intense pleasure of reading Uncle Tom's Cabin , and have been excited to share my view on this story. Perhaps I shouldn't even begin to call it a story....It might be fictitious, but then again, it's so very real! The author completely envelopes you into the heart wrenching tale of Poor Uncle Tom~ a slave who is sold away from his loving wife, children, and friends, to go to an unknown place where he has no one to turn to.
Not only does the story concentrate on Uncle Tom, but the author carries you away again and again to review past favorites in the tale, like Liza and her young son, The slave trader Haley, George, the masters of the plantations, and many more!

It's such a fascinating book, and one that will be sure to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time!
I encourage you to read this......and I hope you get just as much out of it as I did!

Christ's Blessings,
