Author Susan E. Lindsey illuminates the trials and triumphs of building a new life in Liberia, where settlers were free, but struggled to acclimate themselves to an unfamiliar land, coexist with indigenous groups, and overcome disease and other dangers. Liberty Brought Us Here: The True Story of American Slaves Who Migrated to Liberia explores the motives and attitudes of colonization supporters and those who lived in the colony, offering perspectives beyond the standard narrative that colonization was driven solely by racism or forced exile.

This true story was very interesting and eye-opening. I loved hearing the perspective from both sides, the owners and the slaves who in the stories cited, almost became family. Memorable moments for me were hearing their inner thoughts which expressed the contentment or unrest they felt in their daily lives. Sometimes I felt there was more detail than was needed. The narrator was so good though that she kept your interest with her articulate delivery and subtle inflections at the perfect times. I would highly recommend this book especially for anyone interested in delving further into the history of racism.
