“You are nothing , you have no-one!” were the words said to Tanisha Edwards for 16 years. She  had long, frizzy hair with blue eyes and had beautiful brown skin. Tanisha was clever but also a slave.                                                                                                                                                                   “Get over here you thief!” Shouted Master William. “You have stolen half my expenses and don’t try to deny it. You were the only one at the house at the time!”                                                     Frightened, baffled, confused, Tanisha had no idea what he was talking about but she had to run fast. The punishment for stealing was being whipped to death! It was now or never, she had to escape, but how?
