The groundskeeper is part of the household's all-black staff, along with 'Miss Mamie,' the talented cook, pretty new maid Jennie Williams, and three young kitchen apprentices, the latest orphan boys Mr. Barclay has taken in to civilize; boys like August. But the Barclays fortunes have fallen, and their money is almost gone. When a prospective business associate proposes selling Miss Mamie's delicious rib sauce to local markets under the brand name 'The Rib King', using a caricature of a wildly grinning August wearing a chef's hat and jewel-encrusted crown on the label, Mr. Barclay, desperate for cash, agrees. Yet neither Miss Mamie nor August will see a dime. Humiliated but bound to a ten-year contract he cannot break, August grows increasingly distraught, his anger building to a rage that explodes in shocking tragedy. 650 0 $a Household employees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Exploitation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Chicago $z Chicago $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 650 0 $a Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a History. 700 1 $a Jackson, Korey, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Ojo, Adenrele, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210504015640.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D4A0E7D2AC9F11EBAF53C5C920ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
