"In 1924, Josephine is the proud owner of a thriving farm. As a child, she channeled otherworldly power to free herself from slavery. Now her new neighbor, a white woman named Charlotte, seeks her company, and an uneasy friendship grows between them. Nearly one hundred years later, Josephine's descendant, Ava, is a single mother who just lost her job. She moves in with her white grandmother, Martha, a wealthy but lonely woman who pays Ava to be her companion. But when Martha's behavior becomes erratic, then threatening, Ava must find a way to escape before her story and Josephine's converge." from the back cover.
