Hester Snow arrives at the Sea Islands as a governess for the son of an old Georgia plantation family, hoping for a new life after slavery.

As Hester learns of neglected gardens, a young mistress’s despair, and the house’s dark history, she faces her employer’s duplicity and brutality. Struggling against fear and violence, she ultimately finds redemption and true love amidst the plantation’s treacherous legacy.
