Roberta Marsden, called Lil Missus by the enslaved people on her family’s Kentucky farm, grows up in the years before the Civil War, full of mischief, questions and childish fears. When war comes, strangers knock at the door at night and the household must decide whom it dares to shelter.
A small period piece of Kentucky childhood whose nostalgic picture of slavery and dialect portrayal of Black characters belong to the 1890s. Download the free EPUB.
