The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
"I'd thumbed through it enough to know somewhere in the pages was a copy of a legal manumission document.
Upon finding it I took paper and quill from Frather's desk and copied it:
I hereby certify that on this day, 26 November 1803, in the city of Charleston, in the state of South Carolina, I set free from slavery, Hetty Grimke, and bestow this certificate of manumission upon her. Sarah Moore
