For Women's History Month, Oney Judge, The Escaped Slave Who Remained Free

For Women's History Month, I am honoring Oney Judge, Martha Washington's slave who escaped and outsmarted her captors to live her life in freedom.

Thanks for making ONEY an Amazon best seller.


A recent 5-star review:

Having taught the in-store of slavery as a teacher I was drawn to this story. It broke my heart reading about this beautiful girl. Would like to know if she has a marked grave.--Marilyn

Note to Marilyn and readers: Oney died in Greenland NH and was buried there. I live nearby, and researched where her grave could be. I went to the location where she may be buried, but it's not marked. I do wish it was known and marked.

ONEY: MY ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY Now Available for Pre-Order


When I decided to write a biographical novel about Martha Washington, I wanted to use someone else as narrator: maybe her granddaughter or a friend...but it hit me like lightning...Oney Judge, her 'favorite servant' (but a slave, of course) she let work in the "big house" at Mount Vernon. It slowly became Oney's story. My friend, author Piper Huguley, helped me and the result is ONEY, MY ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY. Oney thirsted for her freedom. One evening she walked past the Washingtons as they ate dinner and out the door, never to return. A very brave girl. I greatly admire her.
