I loved this book.

This story takes place before the Civil War. Southern slave owners go to Tawawa House, a resort, for the summer and bring with them some of their slaves. In particular, their slave mistresses. A group of these women befriend each other and this is their story.

I love books that take you into another world. I found myself rooting for the characters. I couldn't put the book down. I carried it with me in my purse and read any free time I had. I definitely recommend this book. Great historical fiction.
