When she arrives in Charleston at the age of seventeen, Abigail discovers that the man her parents raved about is a disagreeable widower who wants little to do with her. To her relief, he relegates her care to a governess, leaving her to settle into his enormous estate with little interference. But just as she begins to grow comfortable in her new life, she overhears her benefactor planning the escape of a local slave-and suddenly, everything she thought she knew about Douglas Elling is turned on its head.Abby's attempts to learn more about Douglas and his involvement in abolition initiate a circuitous dance of secrets and trust.
