'Unless I am allowed to tell the story of my life in my own way, I cannot tell it at all.'

With unwavering determination, Seacole voyaged from the Caribbean to Panama, and ultimately the frontlines of the Crimean War, caring for wounded soldiers while running her business, the 'British Hotel' – a haven for those fighting in the war. Both a vivid travelogue and a powerful testament to one woman's bravery,
