Beneath the Magnolia Tree

In 1800s Georgia, a forbidden love between Jonathan Whitmore, the white heir to a wealthy plantation, and Clara, a resilient Black house servant, leads to the birth of a mixed-race daughter, Eliza. Hidden in plain sight, Eliza grows up in the shadow of her white stepmother and stepsister, treated like a secret the family can't erase. As Eliza uncovers the truth about her parents, she must navigate a world built to break her and find her voice in a society that sees her as invisible. A sweeping generational tale of love, pain, and survival-where every secret has a price.
