Ona Judge was enslaved by the Washingtons, and served the
President's wife, Martha. Ona was widely known for her excellent
skills as a seamstress, and was raised alongside Washington's
grandchildren. Indeed, she was frequently mistaken for his
granddaughter. This biography follows her childhood and adolescence
until she decides to run away. This book doesn't shy away from the
horrors of slavery, nor the complex role of house servants. Author
Ray Anthony Shepard implicates the reader in Ona's decision to
emancipate herself by using a rhetorical refrain, "Why you run, Ona
Judge?" This haunting meditation welcomes meaningful and necessary
conversation among readers. Illustrator Keith Mallett's rich
paintings include fabric collage and add further feeling and
majesty to Ona's daring escape.
