This was a gift for my sister and she called me the day it arrived. I bought this for Sojourner Truth, 1864 and got far more than I paid for.
It landed on my porch in perfect condition two days early. I have been hunting for a good version of Sojourner Truth, 1864 for two years. Highly recommended if you are hesitating. ✨
It arrived two days after I ordered, which I did not expect. The shading in Sojourner Truth, 1864 has a depth I never noticed in books. It arrived a full day ahead of the estimate. The seller replied to my question in under a hour. Our winters are long and dark, and this has made the room feel warmer.
I bought this to fill an awkward corner and it did much more than that. Everything that makes Sojourner Truth, 1864 special survived the reproduction. I could not be happier with it…
