Elizabeth Randolph, called Daisy, tells her own story, beginning with the summer she became a Christian at ten. Sent to her family’s Virginia plantation of Magnolia with its hundreds of enslaved people, she teaches and cares for them as her conscience demands, then faces school in the North and the coming of war between the Grey Coats and the Yankees.
A sequel to Melbourne House by the author of The Wide, Wide World; its picture of slavery is that of a pious Northern writer of 1868. Download the free EPUB.
