In 1859 Louisiana, a cotton-planter’s son develops a new way of farming that threatens the slave system of the town’s plantation owners. His scandalous preference for a beautiful slave woman over a senator’s daughter further uproots the town. A shocking murder, a forbidden love, and questions of freedom and human dignity unfold in a haunting tale that captures the growing tumult of the times, with well-drawn characters, cinematic scenes, plot twists, and shocking revelations you’ll never see coming. Its sweeping themes still challenge us today. Winner of 6 awards. $0.99 on Kindle.
