This book is considered historical fiction and it was well written. Plantation owners take their favorite female slave with them to a resort in Xenia, Ohio for a few weeks. They get to play the part of husband and wife. But being that close to freedom is hard to resist. The resort was real - Tawawa which is now Wilburforce University. I loved the characters. Very well developed.
