During her eighteenth birthday, she encounters Noah Shepherd, a vibrant, redhead violinist who plays classical music during the celebration with two other musicians. Her Mama, Missus Charlotte, dies suddenly at the party.Now she’s forced against her will to fulfill her mother’s role as missus in Crabtree mansion and sever ties with her closest friend Pearl, a mulatto house slave.
