This story covers two time periods: post Civil War Reconstruction (1875) and 1987 in Louisiana. 1875: three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest. One a freed slave, the pampered heir to a now destitute plantation, and the heir's Creole half sister come to reclaim her inheritance. Their quest leads them into dangerous territory full of treacherous situations. 1987: first year teacher, Benedetta âBennyâ, in a poor rural school in Augustine, LA. While trying to get her students involved, she stumbles on a century-old history of the three young women. A hidden book and secrets lead to discoveries that upset many and force Benny to face her own history.
