The story takes place in the pre Civil War era and begins on a plantation in Charleston. On the occasion of Sarah Grimkes eleventh birthday, she's presented with her own slave, ten-year old Hetty Handful Grimke. Sarah has always been uncomfortable with this tradition. At first, Sarah and Handful are more like sisters and playmates as they develop a friendly companionship. As the story progresses, Sarah leaves Charleston to join her adventurous and fearless sister, Angelina, in the north as early pioneers in the fight for abolition and womens rights. We follow Sarah's and Hetty's journeys for thirty-five years as both women strive to carve out a life of their own and navigate a close and complex relationship.
