Jarena Lee was born on February the 11th 1783, in Cape May, New Jersey.

At the age of seven, Lee was separated from her parents and sent to live as a servant maid for a Caucasian family sixty miles away from her home. The names and occupations of her parents are unknown, but what is about them is that they were entirely ignorant of the knowledge of God and because of that had not instructed her in any way regarding the matter of God or religion.

If it hadn’t been for my mother, too, I would have seen one of those generic musicals like “Wicked” or “The Lion King”, and written a standard, run-of-the-mill response of how it had either exceeded my expectations or was a disappointment given its success.
