Some secrets are best left unrevealed.

A twist of fate takes Sarah away from the brothel she was born in to the cotton plantation of her Aunt and Uncle.  As she tries to fit in with High Society, Sarah struggles to accept and abide by the cruel morals of the Antebellum South.  And when she forms a tender attachment to her slave, Samuel, her complicated life becomes even more complicated. 

Living in an era where to be a bastard is to be an outcast and to love a black man is criminal, Sarah struggles to find meaning to her life and hope for a forbidden love.
