Bertice Berry

Berry notes that this memoir is an act of contrition to the memory of a Delaware plantation owner whose name she "tried to tarnish" in her novel Redemption Song. When she named the evil slave owner, she gave him the name of the man who owned the plantation that her family had lived on, even though Berry's mother had told her that "Granddaddy said John Hunn was a good man," - a claim that Berry met with disbelief. As Berry later discovered, the historical Hunn was "a Quaker who risked life and limb in the fight for abolition" and "the southernmost conductor of the Underground Railroad."
