About this book
On a farm in colonial North America, an enslaved girl named Florens tries to make sense of the decision that separated her from her mother. Morrison gives several members of the household their own accounts of how they came to live together. Their stories expose how freedom and dependence were already being defined by labor, race, and gender.
