Why are they sugar coating her life story? Her life was not an “adventure”, she was a slave and this is not a love story bc she had no choice.

I think we should stop calling them "Masters" but instead refer to them as Criminals or Human Traffickers.

She was a 14 year old slave that resembled his dead wife and he used her sexually until he died with a promise to free their children. This is a sad story not a love story.

Not them turning rape of both Sally’s mother & her into love stories. That’s disgusting.

Paused at “Difficult choices she made.”😒 Not a love story. She was an enslaved child.

I hate the narrative that Sally and Thomas were “in love.” She and her children were viewed as property.

"Being owned is not a desirable state of affairs!" Well stated lady. This was no romance story. This is one big horror. Young girl getting used and abused by a inhumane sicko!

The fact that he even uses, “adventure,” to describe her life is ridiculous.

Weird how we were good enough to nurse their babies, and to sleep with, but not good enough to treat like a human being that God created. Truly sad. How do you inherited a human person ugh 🙄

Why are they acting like her and her mother wasn’t raped? This is sick.

Did they just call a 14 year old and 40 year old sexual relationship consensual. Grosss
