In this gripping novel, a dark secret threatens to expose the best and worst in everyone tied to the estate at a thriving plantation in Virginia in the decades before the Civil War.<\/p>\n<p>Orphaned during her passage from Ireland, young, white Lavinia arrives on the steps of the kitchen house and is placed, as an indentured servant, under the care of Belle, the master\u2019s illegitimate slave daughter. Lavinia learns to cook, clean, and serve food, while guided by the quiet strength and love of her new family.<\/p>\n<p>In time, Lavinia is accepted into the world of the big house, caring for the master\u2019s opium-addicted wife and befriending his dangerous yet protective son. She attempts to straddle the worlds of the kitchen and big house, but her skin color will forever set her apart from Belle and the other slaves.<\/p>\n<p>Through the unique eyes of Lavinia and Belle, Grissom\u2019s debut novel unfolds in a heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful story of class, race, dignity, deep-buried secrets, and familial bonds.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Atria Books; First Edition (February 2, 2010) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 368 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1439153663 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1439153666 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 15 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.25 x 0.9 x 8 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers enjoyed the gripping story and well-developed characters.
