In 1843 a New Orleans socialite encounters a waitress named Sally Miller, a "white looking" mother of four.

Salome' had been sold 25 years earlier along with her father, brother and sister to pay for their passage from Germany. Read this fast paced legal thriller as historian Bailey traces the court records thru state and federal courts. Plantation owners fighting for their reputation embattled against the immigrant community who are aided by an overwhelmed attorney fighting for freedom itself for this woman and her children.
