Can we trust the book "To Be A Slave"

Yes I think we can trust the book to be a slave. First the book has won a lot of awards for being a good book and has won a famous award called the Newbery Honor award. Second the book has many different sources of information which are listed at the end of every clipping of writing from that source. Third he had gotten hold of written interviews from slaves back before the slave trade was abolished so he was able to get many points of views. One reason we might not be able to trust him is because his ancestors were slaves so he might have a strong dislike of slavery and might over exaggerate. So over all i think we can trust this book.
