  • "Emma is the property of Pierce Butler and has taken care of his daughters, Sarah and Frances, since their mother left home. Emma wants to raise the girls to have good hearts, like their mother's, as a rift in morals has ripped the Butler household apart: Sarah and her mother oppose the inhumanity of slavery, while Frances and her father believe in the Southern lifestyle and treatment of blacks. Now, to pay off mounting gambling debts, Pierce decides to cash in his "assets" and host the biggest slave auction in American history.... Readers will ... come to understand that every decision has its consequences, and that final judgment is handed down not by man, but by his maker. -Dust jacket."
