OverviewIn a time when humans owned other humans and a nation was torn by war, doing what was right sometimes meant being on the wrong side of the law. In tumultuous 1860, South Carolina farmer Polly Burgiss struggles to protect both her land and the slaves who plant and tend her valuable cotton, while still reeling from the murder of her young brothers years before. This horrific crime has gone unsolved and unpunished-until now. When details of the brutal murder come to light, she must make decisions that will change not only her own life, but the lives of every person on her farm. With a strong sense of place, the story chronicles the intertwined lives of Polly and one of her slaves, a man named Ben. It spans generations and some of the state's most painful years, from the Civil War through its ugly aftermath. As Polly discovers unsettling truths about the evils of slavery, her revelations set in motion a monumental shift in her own small corner of the world-and far beyond.
