This book toggles back and forth in time between Hannie in Louisiana, 1875 and Benny Silva in Louisiana, 1987. In the era of Reconstruction, Hannie, Lavinia, and Juneau Jane head out on a journey through Texas. For Laviana and Juneau Jane the journey is one of stolen inheritance and financial desperation; but for Hannie, she is in search of family stolen and sold. Benny is a first year teacher living new the plantation home that holds the history of all three women, In search of books for her classroom, Benny uncovers a book of secrets in the plantation home. She comes to understand and empower a one marginalized community. Interesting History.
