From back cover:
"On a Creole plantation on the banks of Louisiana's Cane River, four generations of astonishing women battle injustice to unite their family and forge success on their own terms. They are women whose lives begin in slavery, who weather the Civil War, and who struggle with emancipation throughout the turbulent early years of the twentieth century. There is Elizabeth, bearing both a proud legacy and the yoke of bondage...her youngest daughter, Suzette, the first to discover the promise-and heartbreak-of freedom...Suzette's strong-willed daughter Philomene, determined to reunite her family and gain unheard-of economic independence and...Emily, Philomene's spirited daughter, fighting to secure her children's just due and preserve their dignity and their future."
