Show Way by Jacqueline Woodson

Nebery

"Show Way" is about slaves, being sold. It starts out in the very beginning of slavery. As it goes on into the story you learn that they made blankets with symbols on them as a map to the north. As it goes into the present it tells of all the girls' lives as slaves. In the end, it tells how the author is a black and doesn't have to work as a slave.

They made blankets with symbols on them to show slaves the way to the north. The blankets were called Show Ways.
