A fictionalized account of the lives of the Grimke sisters, who were born into a slave holding family in the heart of Charleston but who went on to become early proponents of abolition and women's rights. Also the counterpoint story of Hettie or Handful, the fictional character of a slave girl in the Grimke household.
