About This Book
On a Mississippi plantation in the antebellum South, two enslaved men—Samuel and Isaiah—share a love that the plantation community regards with both tenderness and fear. When a betrayal tears their world apart, the novel explores the devastating intersection of slavery, religion, and queer love.
