Huraian
In 1817 Charleston, two outcasts find an unlikely sanctuary in each other. Bebo, a fifteen-year-old healer's son stolen from Africa, and Saoirse, a young Irish immigrant serving a pretentious mistress, are bound by a shared sadness that blossoms into a forbidden love. But their refuge is short-lived. When their daughter, June, is born with "a little brown" skin, the resulting outrage tears the family apart.
