Little Bloom

Evelyn is the daughter of plantation owners Caroline and Robert - but to her they are no parents. The early death of her guardian grandmother leads Evelyn to encounter the slave women who step in to mother her when her birth mother won't. A society and scripture tell her they are not equal. Her heart tells her that they are better than her own kind.

A story of forbidden female friendship in a time where the colour of your skin determines your path in life, and where white people do not see the human beyond the whips that they crack.
