Part detective tale, part social and cultural narrative, this book gives an account of the author's quest to reconstruct the lives of her nineteenth-century ancestors. It challenges many of the accepted "truths" about African-American history, including the assumption that the phrase "nineteenth-century black Americans" means enslaved people.
