About this audiobook
In 1850 Charleston, South Carolina, brutality and cruelty simmer just under the genteel surface of Southern society. Beautiful and headstrong Willow Hendricks lives in an era where ladies are considered nothing more than property.
Her father rules her life, filling it with turmoil, secrets, and lies. She finds a kindred spirit in spunky, outspoken Whitney Barry, a northerner from Boston. Together these Charleston belles are driven to take control of their own lives as they are plunged into fear and chaos on their quest to fight for the rights of slaves. Against all odds, these feisty women fight to secure freedom and equality for those made powerless and persecuted by a supposedly superior race.
Only when they’ve lost it all do they find a new beginning.
Book 1 presents Willow and Whitney—and the reader—with the hardships the slaves endure at the hands of their white masters.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Did she really compare being a white woman in the south to being a slave. Please take these ridiculous books off your site. I can’t believe this exists.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the story, but wish the author would be more careful to keep the language used true to the time period. For example, I don't think the expression " for Pete's sake" was in use yet.
