Lindy will be signing books at our store on Black Friday, November 27th 2026.
At the end of the Civil War, two women on a devastated South Carolina rice plantation, one a freed slave the other her former mistress, are at each other's throats over ownership of the plantation. Either way, rice farming is now a doomed enterprise. One day, a starving Irish immigrant with thirty tiny bags of mysterious seeds sewn into her underskirt wanders in. To persuade the women to let her stay, she tells them her seeds will make a profitable crop.
As disasters destroy all crops and hope, she comes up with another money-making idea, then another. Despite the women's schemes to run her off, the Irish visitor is always one step ahead.
