Miriam Crane, a young wife and mother, lives in a small, insular community originally carved from Maryland plantations by freed slaves. When an itinerant preacher brings new hopes and dreams, his influence threatens to divide Miriam’s neighbors – and her own family. Her choices, and her fierce devotion to home, lead to a tragic crime, and to secrets long kept. Now, when her child is a grown woman, the time has come to disclose the truth, wherever it may lead.
