Description
Luisiana, 1875. En la tumultuosa Era de la Reconstrucción, tres jóvenes parten juntas en una arriesgada misión: Hannie, una esclava liberada; Lavinia, la consentida heredera de una plantación que le ha sido arrebatada; y Juneau Jane, la hermanastra mestiza de Lavinia. Cada una de ellas carga con sus propias heridas y guarda profundos secretos, mientras emprenden un viaje a Texas a través de carreteras llenas de justicieros y soldados que todavía luchan por una guerra perdida tiempo atrás. Lavinia y Juneau Jane viajan por una herencia robada y por desesperación económica, pero para Hannie, separada de su madre y de sus hermanos antes del fin de la esclavitud, el peregrinaje hacia el oeste reaviva una pregunta que la atormenta: ¿podría estar su familia, perdida tiempo atrás, todavía allí?Luisiana, 1987. Para la joven profesora Benedetta Silva, un trabajo subvencionado en una humilde escuela rural parece la oportunidad perfecta para saldar la deuda que ha contraído por sus estudios. hasta que aterriza en una pequeña y desfasada ciudad a orillas del río Misisipi. La gente de Augustine, Luisiana, se resiste a acoger a nuevos habitantes e ideales, y Benny apenas puede llegar a comprender las difíciles vidas de sus alumnos, golpeados por la pobreza. Pero entre los robustos robles que siguen en pie y las plantaciones en ruinas, se esconde la centenaria historia de tres jóvenes mujeres, un viaje en el pasado, y un libro escondido que podría cambiarlo todo.
Description
Louisiana, 1875: In the tumultuous aftermath of Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest: Lavinia, the pampered heir to a now-destitute plantation; Juneau Jane, her illegitimate free-born Creole half-sister; and Hannie, Lavinia's former slave. Each carries private wounds and powerful secrets as they head for Texas, following dangerous roads rife with ruthless vigilantes and soldiers still fighting a war lost a decade before. For Lavinia and Juneau Jane, the journey is one of inheritance and financial desperation, but for Hannie, torn from her mother and eight siblings before slavery's end, the pilgrimage westward reignites an agonizing question: Could her long-lost family still be out there? Beyond the swamps lie the seemingly limitless frontiers of Texas and, improbably, hope. Louisiana, 1987: For first-year teacher Benedetta Silva, a subsidized job at a poor rural school seems like the ticket to canceling her hefty student debt--until she lands in a tiny, out-of-step Mississippi River town. Augustine, Louisiana, seems suspicious of new ideas and new people, and Benny can scarcely comprehend the lives of her poverty-stricken students. But amid the gnarled live oaks and run-down plantation homes lies the century-old history of three young women, a long-ago journey, and a hidden book that could change everything.
