Description
Moving between 1875 Louisiana and 1987, this powerful dual-timeline novel follows two women separated by more than a century but connected by questions of identity, family, and history. Hannie Gossett, a formerly enslaved sharecropper, embarks on a perilous journey with the daughters of her former owner in search of the loved ones who were taken from her. In the modern-day narrative, idealistic teacher Benny Silva inspires her students to confront the buried stories of their rural Southern community. Rich with historical detail and emotional depth, the novel explores resilience, courage, belonging, and the enduring power of uncovering the truth.
