"The author fictionalizes actual events of her Afro-Creole family in Cane River of Louisiana. Four generations of women make the most of their enslaved lives enduring both rape and true love with white slave owners. There is a dignity about these women who stand up for their rights and the rights of their children to not only be free but to be recognized for their talents and to assure economic security."
