Acerca de esta escucha
Under the roof of her bright, vivacious mother Elizabeth, and prosperous businessman Humphrey Woodman, Alicia Woodman’s life should have been comfortable and happy.
However, when a shocking discovery turns her life upside down, Alicia finds herself alone and facing hardship. It is left to Polly Ford, the widow of a dock worker, to care for Alicia and give her the love she so desperately needs.
In a hypocritical society full of thin-lipped disapproval, Alicia learns that the human spirit can endure through adversity and love makes for the strongest relationships of all.

Shielded by her mother’s position as the estate’s medicine woman and cherished by the Master’s sister, she is set apart from the others on the plantation, belonging to neither world.

She unexpectedly finds herself thrust into the bowels of slavery at the infamous Devil’s Half Acre.
