Elizabeth Wainwright is born at Fair Oaks in Virginia. She is provided with a wet nurse from the slaves that her family owns. Her name is Mattie and, unfortunately, has a 3 month old of her own.
Mattie and Lisbeth (Elizabeth) form a very strong bond as Lisbeth is growing up. Mattie learns that her husband and her young son have run from the plantation and Mattie does not know if they are safe or not. Mattie soon finds that she is pregnant with a second child and Lisbeth helps her with a name for that child, Jordan.
There is much affection between these two and their lives take separate turns.

This is an awesome read. A special relationship develops between a high-born infant and its slave nanny. A thoughtful look into the slave trade, treatment, and about their own families living in the quarters. Plus, a heartfelt look into the abolishment.
