'Iola Leroy', one of the first novels published by an African-American woman, follows a group of slaves who are seeking refuge with the approaching Union army during the Civil War. The Union commander is made aware that a beautiful young woman is being held as a slave in the neighbourhood and sets her free.The narrative then switches to Iola Leroy's point of view and follows her turmoil with being tricked, misled, and eventually sold off and taken away from her mother. In a story exploring the serious social issues of education for women, religion and social responsibility, we follow Iola as she attempts to track down her family once again. People who are familiar with Harriet Jacobs' 'Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl' will like this novel!-
