Together these Charleston belles are driven to take control of their own livesâ??and they are plunged into fear and chaos in their quest to fight for the rights of slaves. Against all odds, these feisty women fight to secure freedom and equality for those made powerless and persecuted by a supposedly superior race.

Willow lives on a plantation where the slaves are well taken care of and growing up without her mother she feels really close to the slaves on Livingston Plantation. She doesn't agree with owning people and she does what she can to help. Her father refuses to talk about Willows mother so we have a little mystery there and her father also has secret business meetings. He doesn't express his love for Willow so they aren't close but you'll find out the reason for this as the story moves along.
So we have plantation life and the treatment of slaves and the slave catchers. Horrible conditions on some of the plantations and Willow's story and that of some of her friends.
This is book one and I'm looking forward to book 2 in 2019 so I can continue the story of Willow. ( )
