"Fascinating story and vividly told... " WRITERS' DIGEST
In the early spring of 1881, seventeen-year-old Molly returns home from Boston to find her brother Jake missing and presumed dead, and her mother out of her mind. Twenty-year-old Jacob McCray left Grenada County, Mississippi in the fall of 1879. A young mulatto, hesitant to take on his sister's fiery ways of handling life, he chooses to use his numbers-sense, music and poetic ways to get by. Still hurt and unsure of why his Pa left, Jacob searches for a better life for himself, his Ma and little sister Molly-- who calls him Jake. At some point in his journey, Jake encounters a Native American friend from his past, a curious White stranger, and a woman of ill- repute who turns out to be more than he could have ever imagined. Before long, Molly uncovers hidden secrets that explain Jake's mysterious decision to abandon his life on the Newman farm, but his disappearance leads to tragedy and hardship for those who love him.
