There's no good life in a cotton field, so Kedzie escapes the shanties and gets to the Big House. But there she encounters a sexual predator. Even her love for Rio threatens to destroy her. Can she get away from St. Helena Island without a boat? Her heritage is slavery and in 1867 it is virtually impossible to escape. It takes courage, and Kedzie has courage. This is a bold look at slavery. No explanations. No longing for the old plantation. Gritty, real, emotional.
