Publisher's summary

Natchez, 1841. As a slave girl, Jenny has always yearned for freedom, but when her master Cornelius Carson abruptly sets her free and hands her a steamboat ticket to free soil in Ohio, she is completely alone. She knows she faces a future filled with dangers. Then an old acquaintance, Walker Jackson, persuades her to return with him to Carefree, the abandoned Natchez estate of her childhood. Only one person still lives there: Esther, a slave woman. When Cornelius unexpectedly inherits the estate, Jenny finds that her life, like the estate, is taking some unexpected turns. The lives of Cornelius, Euphonia, Walker, Esther, and many others undergo startling changes. Eventually Jenny forges a new life for herself among the free people of New Orleans, but when she returns to Carefree, the ramifications of her old crime threaten both her life and the world of Carefree.
