The Indigo Girl by Natasha Boyd
3.0

I love how historical fiction broadens my horizons. I had never heard of Eliza Lucas, a S Carolina plantation tender (for her dad) who was well ahead of her time. Independent, a creative thinker, and business woman who stood up to the men in her life. She believed in treating slaves fairly. Her most important contribution to our history was her introduction of indigo into crop production of the South...the reason the S Carolina flag is indigo blue. This was no easy task.
