Rapt by the crumbling walls of the once slave-owner's estate, she explores the unspoken history of the plantation--a site where her ancestors once worked the land, but which the resort now uses as a lookout point for tourists. When Myrna discovers a book detailing the experiences of slaves, who still share a last name with the majority of the islanders, her investigation becomes deeply personal, extending to her neighbors and friends, and explaining her mother's self-imposed silence and father's disappearance. A new generation begins to speak about the past just as racial tensions erupt between the resort and the local island community when an African-American tourist at the resort is brutally attacked."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Hotel cleaning personnel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Plantations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Plantation life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social conflict $v Fiction. 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020503.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006110258.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710083243.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20171117013420.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=652EE66A952411E7A6BEDC2A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
