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.
Disclaimer: Some of the views depicted in this story do not represent the views of the author and are used only to reflect the history of slavery. The language used in this story may at times be upsetting, but again is honest to the time in which this story is set.

I should have known better. *** Elsie's world is ruled by vampires. Every year women across the country are offered in tribute.

All these months and he just tells me 'we'll talk later'", I told him, feeling absolutely frustrated. I am so damn stupid, thinking this was gonna be something special or whatever. "It isn't him", he suddenly spoke and I just rolled my eyes. He doesn't even know what he's talking about, the imbisile. "It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time.
