“Miss Arrah don’t see colour, just people.”

 A Southerner living in the midst of the American Civil War, Arrah Knighren holds an unpopular opinion. The belief that all people are equals.

Arrah’s belief is put to the test after she hurts her ankle and a slave named Isaac helps her home. As the daughter of a confederate colonel, does she dare treat a slave as a friend?
