Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-05 00:00:00 Michael Bland Where has this book been all my life? I'm so glad I finally read it after having it on my shelf for close to a year. This is a story-style biography of Prudence Crandall, a Quaker teacher who lived in Connecticut in the 1800s and changed her own life�and the lives of many others�by one small decision: to let a Black girl into her school. The writing is a teensy bit old-fashioned (the dialogue is written true to the times that Prudence Crandall lived in), but if you can handle Jane Austen, this will be a breeze. It is well written and well paced. I can't believe I'm saying this about a biography, but I actually stayed up late last night finishing it. Highly recommended!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-02-24 00:00:00 Jim Nathans This book may have been written with children in mind but it is so well written that even as an adult I enjoyed the story of Prudence Crandall's courage to stand up and provide education for the black women at that time. Prudence did not see the girls as property but as God's children.
