| 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.
