The Civil War is over, but it isn't. For two sisters - one white and one black - a new fight is just beginning.
Adelaide, married to a Georgia cotton planter, never dreamed that she would side with the Union or the Freedmen's Bureau. Now she's done both. When the Bureau backs her school for the county's black children, she earns the affection of the local Bureau agent - and the hostility of her former friends.
Her half-sister Rachel, no longer Adelaide's slave, used to dream of being free. But after emancipation, freedom remains elusive and risky. When Rachel buys a hundred acres of cotton land in the county - with the help of the Bureau's dashing black lawyer - she becomes the target of the newly-formed Ku Klux Klan.
As they struggle to rebuild their lives, can each sister find the courage to face violence and hatred - and follow her heart to a new kind of freedom?
If you like an eye-opening, soul-stirring, true-to-period historical novel you can't put down, you'll love the sequel to Sabra Waldfogel's award-winning novel Sister of Mine.
