Author’s Note: CRECIE’S struggles begin the day the Union army invades the South Carolina Sea Islands and “frees” the slaves. Indoctrinated by four generations of enslavement, she faces unique challenges when pressed with the conflicting demands of newly arrived whites: the military, cotton collectors, and abolitionists.
