This is a very interesting book about the South and slavery and indentured servitude. The author is very good at creating an environment and the story moves along at a fairly good clip. While the details are not too pronounced it does deal with incest and rape, but not in a graphic manner that is difficult to read. Grissom moves from perspective to perspective of each individual but the story is cohesive and engaging. It also appears to be well researched and is a good read. I recommend it.
