From the author of Promise Bridge comes a powerful novel of the pre-Civil War era South and the Underground Railroad. 1839, North Carolina. As the daughter of a plantation owner, Jacy has been raised in privilege- until she discovers that she’s the offspring of a dalliance between her father and a slave. The revelation destroys Jacy’s sense of who she is and where she belongs in the world. Equally shocking, her biological mother and brother are still slaves on the property. As she gets to know them-and the handsome horse trainer, Rafe-she begins to see life in the South with fresh eyes. And soon Jacy will have to make a treacherous journey that she hopes will end in freedom for them all…
Long intrigued by the transitional period just before the Civil War, Eileen Clymer Schwab is the author of novels set during that period. She lives with her family in northeastern Pennsylvania.
