At Hold House, she meets Ruth, a magazine writer on assignment, and Cheyenne, a Southern Black debutante seeking to purchase the estate. Hovering above them all is the spirit of Mary Ann Battis, the young Indigenous woman who remained in Georgia more than a century earlier. When they discover a diary left on the property that reveals even more about the house's dark history, the three women's connection to the place grow deeper. Over a long holiday weekend, Cheyenne is forced to reconsider the property's rightful ownership, Jinx re-examines assumptions about her tribe's racial history, and Ruth confronts her own family's past traumas before surprising herself by falling into a new romance. 650 0 $a Cherokee Indians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Enslaved persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Plantations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Plantation life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteenth century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Georgia $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20231216010120.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20230802013228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=90D777BC30FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
