Beloved is a novel written by Toni Morrison in 1987. The book is inspired by the life of an African-American (slave) between 1861 and 1865. The slave in question is Margaret Garner who was fortunate enough to escape slavery in Kentucky and flee to Ohio. It is clear why the book is on many school and college reading lists.
