Sarny: A Life Remembered Mass market paperbound - 1999
by Gary Paulsen
Sarny, the young slave girl who learned to read in "Nightjohn," is now a young widow. She flees the plantation in the last days of the Civil War, a free woman in search of her sold-away children. Sarny's story gives a panoramic view of America in a time of tragedy, trial, and hoped-for change, until her last days in the 1930s.
First line
It's quite now, so quiet sometimes it seems like everything is covered with layers of soft dust so thick the sound can't come through.
From the jacket flap

Sarny's story gives a panoramic view of America in a time of trial, tragedy, and hoped-for change, until her last days in the 1930s.
