Summary, Etc. Born into bondage in Union-leaning northwest Tennessee, Tennyson Bougureau spends his days working the tobacco fields of a small farm, avoiding andy action that might drive his pro-Confederate neighbors to the kind of unprovoked violence that killed his mother. But when, in the wake of emancipation, a gang of defeated rebels descends on the farm, his choice to defend it and the people within makes Tennyson a wanted man. He will now not have the chance to till the ten acres he and his sister, Rosalee, have been given as their own. Instead, he must leave the relative safety of the only home he's known and venture into the newer world.
