Elise thought her devastating secret would be safe - after all, her dark hair and tanned complexion merely hints at French ancestry, and her infant daughter, Hannah, is as fair as her father. But that did little to save her after the revelation that Elise's deceased mother was one-quarter African and a runaway slave. All of her descendants are now the property of Maurice Thomson, a cruel and depraved man eager to recover his lost goods. Forced into a life of shame, could Elise's fledgling faith provide light to a man of the cloth?
