Synopsis In the black settlement of Birchtown, times are especially hard for former slaves. They face the difficulties of a hardscrabble existence and continued discrimination from their white counterparts. Like many desperate Birchtowners, Sarah Redmond has signed an indenture agreement, a work contract meant to protect her rights and ensure a living wage. Sarahs employers, the Blyes, do not honour the agreement, and Sarah and her family are all but shattered when Sarah takes a wrong step one she will come to regret as it sets off a chain of unusual events that put her under further pressure.
