Winner of the National Book Award for Nonfiction, the Cundill History Prize, and shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction, this volume remains in immaculate, publisher-fresh condition. The outer softcovers are bright and entirely devoid of edge-crush, the text block is pristine and securely bound, and the spine is perfectly square and uncreased. A premium, collector-grade copy.  In 1850s South Carolina, an enslaved woman named Rose faced the imminent sale and forced separation of her nine-year-old daughter, Ashley. Acting swiftly, Rose packed a simple cotton sack with a few precious survival items: a tattered dress, three handfuls of pecans, and a lock of her own hair. Decades later, Ashley’s granddaughter, Ruth, embroidered this heartbreaking family lineage directly onto the fabric in vibrant red thread, writing: \"It be filled with my Love always.\"  Renowned Harvard historian Tiya Miles pieces together the faint, archival traces of these three generations of women. Where traditional documents fall short, Miles reads the material culture of the sack itself to reconstruct a stunning, deeply layered history of resilience, memory, and maternal love sustained against the brutal backdrop of American slavery.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54040910496083,"sku":"4367","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/9781800818217.jpg?v=1781860492","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/profile-books-ltd-all-that-she-carried-the-journey-of-ashleys-sack-a-black-family-keepsake-tiya-miles","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
