About the Book Sarny: A Life Remembered

Sarny: A Life Remembered by Gary Paulsen is a compelling historical novel that continues the story of Sarny, a character first introduced in Paulsen’s earlier book, Nightjohn. The novel begins with Sarny as a 94-year-old woman living in a convalescent hospital, reflecting on her life.

The story recounts Sarny’s journey from her days as a young slave girl who learned to read and write from Nightjohn, to her experiences during and after the Civil War. After gaining her freedom, Sarny faces numerous challenges, including the search for her sold-away children and the struggle to build a new life in a changing America. Her narrative provides a panoramic view of the trials, tragedies, and hopes of African Americans during this tumultuous period.

Through Sarny’s eyes, readers witness the horrors of slavery, the impact of the Civil War, and the resilience and determination required to overcome such adversities. The novel is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the importance of literacy and education in the fight for freedom and equality.
