The Letter Writer (from teensreadtoo.com)

Harriet knows her place in society. She’s the half-sister of the plantation owner. She does little jobs and writes letters for his mother. She notices the differences in treatment of all people and has a hard time dealing with the injustice. When Nat Turner comes to work at her plantation, she finds herself drawn to him. His God seems quite different from her brother’s. When he asks for her help, she doesn’t refuse him. What she doesn’t realize is the part she might play in changing history.

This gripping tale imagines the story of the bloodiest uprising of slaves in American History.
