A Brief Look Inside:
The Invention of Wings, written by bestselling author Sue Monk Kidd is a novel of historical fiction, based loosely on the early life of Sarah Moore Grimké, an abolitionist and women’s suffrage pioneer. This dramatic story follows the lives of Sarah Grimké and Hetty “Handful” Grimké. Sarah is the daughter of a slaveholding family; Hetty is one of the family’s slaves.

On her eleventh birthday, Sarah is presented with a gift, a slave girl named Hetty Grimké. Hetty was plucked from the family’s slave quarters, separated from her mother, and is now expected to be Sarah’s personal slave and companion. Sarah knows her refusal to accept Hetty as a gift will bring about much trouble. On the other hand, Sarah personally abhors slavery and knows she cannot accept Hetty...
