The book chronicles the life of Harriet Beecher Stowe, an American abolitionist and author best known for her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. The book begins with Stowe's childhood in Connecticut, where she was raised in a family of prominent Congregationalist ministers. It then follows her through her marriage to Calvin Stowe and her move to Cincinnati, where she became involved in the anti-slavery movement. The heart of the book focuses on Stowe's writing of Uncle Tom's Cabin, which was published in 1852 and became an instant bestseller. The book had a profound impact on American society, helping to galvanize the abolitionist movement and contributing to the outbreak of the Civil War.
