Isabella was only nine when she was sold for the first time. And at first no one wanted her. The slave auctioneer had to throw in a flock of sheep before someone bid on the skinny young girl.

But this young girl would grow. She would grow to become a brave, strong, towering woman who would speak out against the evils of slavery. She would transform herself into one of the most powerful voices of the abolitionist movement and would help to change the course of a nation.

The slave girls Isabella would become the legendary Sojourner Truth.

This is her story.
