Fourteen years after the end of slavery, Lord Henry Hardin and his wife, Lady Bertha, enjoy an entitled life in Union County, Arkansas<\/a>. Until he faces a devastating reality: Bertha is unable to bear children. If Henry doesn\u2019t produce an heir, the American branch of his family name will die out. So Henry, desperate to preserve his aristocratic family lineage, does the unthinkable.<\/p>\n

When Salome, a former slave and Henry\u2019s mistress, gives birth to a white-skinned, blue-eyed daughter, Henry orders a reluctant Lady Bertha to claim the child as their own\u2026allowing young Margaret to pass into the white world<\/a> of privilege.<\/p>\n

As Margaret grows older, unaware of her true parentage, devastating circumstances threaten to shroud her in pain and shame\u2026but then, ultimately, in revelation. Despite rumors about Margaret\u2019s true identity, Salome is determined to transform her daughter\u2019s bitter past into her secure future while Henry goes to extraordinary lengths to protect his legacy. Spanning decades and generations, marked by tragedy and redemption, this unforgettable saga illuminates a family\u2019s fight for their name, for survival, and for true freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
