Description
1860. Persimmon "Persy" Wilson is sold to Sweetmore, a Louisiana sugar plantation, alongside a light-skinned house slave named Chloe. Their deep and instant connection fueled a love affair and inspired plans to escape Wilson, their owner, who claimed Chloe as his concubine. On the eve of the Union Army's attack on New Orleans, Wilson shot Persy, and fled with Chloe and his other slaves to Texas. Determined to reunite with his lost love, Persy's odyssey sees him captured by the Comanche; teaches him the meaning and the price of freedom; and eventually ends with him sitting in a jail cell in Drunken Bride, Texas, accused of the kidnapping and rape of Wilson's wife.
