Plot Summary of Plantation
"Plantation is the story of Tilda, a girl caught in two worlds––that of the slave and the white side of her heritage, and of James Hamilton, aristocratic son of Stafford Hall Plantation. In a time of conflicting emotions and customs, a civil war lurches just over the horizon. Their love and lives are further complicated as the world they know begins to crumble. Yet, theirs is a love so strong it is destined to survive across a century."
Fern Smith-Brown, Resident Scholar
