Historical
A powerful debut novel of friendship, love, and family
set in the segregated pre-Civil War South.
"This is a promise bridge, and it bridges a
promise flowing from your heart to mine. It can't never be
broken...the promise is part of you now, understand."
Thus begins an unlikely friendship between Hannelore
Blessing, a plantation mistress, and a slave girl named
Livie. As the young women are launched on a harrowing
journey of awakening filled with shared risks and nurtured
promises amid whispers of the Underground Railroad and the
rising tension preceding the Civil War, they discover their
ability to trust, love, and ultimately take action.
Aided by Colt, a devoted suitor hoping to win her
heart, Hannah comes to understand that true friendship means
letting go, so that Livie can be free to find a life and
destiny all her own. However, a vicious slave catcher stalks
the two women-and his unseemly motives and relentless
pursuit threaten all that Hannah holds dear, as well as put
her loved ones in unimaginable danger.
