1. Beloved

   Beloved is a novel by the American writer Toni Morrison. Set after the American Civil War, it is inspired by the story of an African-American slave, Margaret Garner, who temporarily escaped slavery during 1856 in Kentucky by fleeing to Ohio, a free state. A posse arrived to retrieve her and her children under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which gave slave owners the right to pursue slaves across state borders. Margaret killed her two-year-old daughter rather than allow her to be recaptured. Beloved's main character, Sethe, kills her daughter and tries to kill her other three children when a posse arrives in Ohio to return them to Sweet Home, the plantation in Kentucky from which Sethe recently fled. A woman presumed to be her daughter, called Beloved, returns years later to haunt Sethe's home at 124 Bluestone Road, Cincinnati. The story opens with an introduction to the ghost: "124 was spiteful. Full of a baby's venom." The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1988. It was adapted during 1998 into a movie of the same name starring Oprah Winfrey. During 2006 a New York Times survey of writers and literary critics ranked it as the best work of American fiction of the past 25 years.

Examples of Beloved in a Sentence

1. Josh Graham:

   My husband's sacrificecould’ve been avoided if these measures were available, we want my beloved husband's act of heroism to not be in vain.

2. Brian Panosian:

   Any pro would have a challenge with nearly 550 members, but Gene was beloved, he not only attended to the members, but took care of the members’ guests. If you are going to create a demeanor for a golf professional, who has to deal with so many different personalities, Gene would be where you want to start.

3. Hilary Duff:

   Was incredibly excited to launch' Instagram Lizzie McGuire' on D + and my passion remains ! However, I feel a huge responsibility to honor the fans' relationship with LIZZIE who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in Instagram Lizzie McGuire, i'd be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30 year old's journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating. It's important to me that just as her experiences as a preteen/teenager navigating life were authentic, her next chapters are equally as real and relatable. It would be a dream if Disney would let us move the show to Hulu, if they were interested, and I could bring this beloved character to life again.

4. Federal Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow:

   I want The US Marshals to know that The US Marshals's not alone, and that of course I would do anything I could to help The US Marshals, although I know there are no words that will alleviate the grief that The US Marshals and The US Marshals husband must bear after losing their beloved son, the guilt you feel because of your judicial office, that that happened -- and yet an innocent person was the victim.

5. Ben Cardin:

   Maryland resident Elaine Weinstein and her family experienced incredible heartache while their beloved Warren was abducted and held by terrorists. There are no remedies to the pain the Weinsteins and other affected families have endured, but we must as a nation respond more effectively to these tragedies. That is why this legislation is so vital.
