The Indigo Girl
by Natasha Boyd
I loved this story! It's not "great literature" but the story of young, strong, and fiercely independent Eliza Lucas in pre-Revolution South Carolina kept me flipping the pages until the satisfying conclusion. Eliza saved South Carolina's economy when the price of rice plummeted. Her vision of growing indigo and selling the dye pellets took years to come to fruition. This is her fictionalized story based on letters and records of the time. It is especially amazing considering the times, when women were expected to be genteel living in the shadow of their husbands, not even legally allowed to own land.
