The best-selling author of the Yellow Crocus returns with a haunting and loving story about three women returning to a plantation they once called home.
Oberlin, Ohio, 1868. Lisbeth Johnson was born privileged in the south before the war. Jordan Freedman was born a slave to Lisbet’s beloved sister Mattie. Women have an unlikely connection deeper than friendship. Three years after the Civil War, Lisbeth and Mattie took care of their homes and families, while the future suffrage Jordan taught at an integrated school.
When Lisbeth discovers that her father is dying, she is invited to the Virginia plantation where she grew up. There he must confront the confederate family, whom he betrayed by marrying an abolitionist. Jordan and Mattie also return to Fair Oaks to rescue an abandoned family who are still in trouble. It’s time for Lisbeth to come to terms. It’s time for Jordan and Mattie to get rid of it.
As Johnsons and Freedmans fight the injustices that bind them and the bitterness and violence that boils in their hearts, women must find the courage to free themselves and their families from the past.
