Sarny

Sarny

So many readers have written and asked: What happened to Sarny, the young slave girl who learned to read in <i>Nightjohn?</i> Extraordinary things happened to her, from the moment she fled the plantation in the last days of the Civil War, suddenly a free woman in search of her sold-away children, until she found them and began a new life. Sarny's story gives a panoramic view of America in a time of trial, tragedy, and hoped-for change, until her last days in the 1930s.
