Dedication

They say some stories are better left untouched, unknown, untold.

With scandal and mystery the only inheritance her mother left her, Sarah struggles to keep her illigitemate birth a secret as she tries to fit in with high society of the Antebellum South. And when she forms a tender attachment to her slave, Sam Climb, her already complicated life starts to get even more complicated.

Living in a time and society where to be a bastard is to be an outcast and to love a black man is unacceptable, Sarah tries to find meaning to her life and hope for a forbidden love.
