Inspired by the life of Sarah Grimké, an early advocate for abolition and women's rights, The Invention of Wings offers a piercing look into the injustices of slavery-era America. On her birthday in 1803, Sarah is given ownership of Hetty "Handful" Grimké, an enslaved girl. But Sarah rejects the idea of slavery, instead forging a complex friendship with Handful that spans more than three decades. As they navigate the challenges of their time, Sarah and Handful both look to find their own meanings of freedom.
