There wasn't a more oppressive place for a young Black woman to be than in South Carolina during the 1800s. Lilly was born into slavery on the Plumdek Plantation. She was considered to be no more than mere property; a life of servitude was all that Lilly has ever known. Will Lilly survive her sadistic mistress "Missy," the assaults that were rampant among enslaved girls and women? When Abraham Lincoln was elected president, South Carolina seceded from the union. Soon, other Southern states follow suit. There's a storm brewing in the South, Lilly is right in the eye of the storm.
