Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -I guess I'll name you Jenny, something I can say easy. That was my mammy's name anyway. Jenny. You be Jenny from now on...- Cornelius Carson's mother cautioned him never to own slaves, but in 1830s Louisiana, land and slaves are the measure of a man's worth. At 23, Cornelius is ambitious, and in love. He owns one elderly slave, Malachi, and a small cotton farm along the Bayou Cocodrie in Louisiana. And he plans to marry Stephanie Coqterre, daughter of a wealthy Natchez planter. He needs another field-hand, but prices are high. So when a trader brings a coffle of smuggled slaves to Natchez, Cornelius buys a 10-year-old girl. She is mute and nameless, but she's all he can afford. He names her Jenny. It quickly becomes apparent that Jenny will change life on the Cocodrie as much as it changes her. The winds of ambition are blowing everywhere, both among the whites, who strive for wealth and status, and among the slaves, who yearn for freedom. But dangers are everywhere, too. As madness and treachery reach from Natchez to the Cocodrie to blast all their dreams, Cornelius struggles to find a way to salvage his life and the lives of Jenny and Malachi as well.

When Jenny Cornelius, seventeen years old, is freed from slavery by her master and put on a steamboat to go to free soil in Ohio, she can't foresee that it's a journey she will not complete. She encounters Walker Jackson, a free man from Natchez, and together they make decisions that will alter the course of their lives. Jenny's decisions ultimately take her to New Orleans, where she finds friendships and motherhood in the midst of loss. Cornelius Carson, her former master, unexpectedly inherits the Natchez estate called Carefree as well as a sugar cane plantation on Bayou Boeuf in Louisiana. The inheritance alters his destiny and that of his family, and ultimately the shadows of deceit and treachery hang over the estate, threatening Jenny's very freedom.
