In 1829 in Kentucky, a pregnant black woman helped lead an
uprising of a group of slaves headed to the market for sale. She
was sentenced to death, but her hanging was delayed until after the
birth of her baby. In North Carolina in 1830, a white woman living
on an isolated farm was reported to have given sanctuary to runaway
slaves. In this classic novel of courage and redemption, acclaimed
author Sherley Anne Williams asks the question: "What if these two
women had met?"
These two strong women, one black, one white, form a forbidden
and ambivalent alliance as a bold scheme is hatched to win freedom.
Trust is slowly extended and cautiously accepted as the women unite
and discover greater strength together than alone. Bound by fate
but divided by prejudice, they explore and defy racial barriers in
a moving story of courage, freedom, friendship, and love.
