About
Sold on the block as indentured servants during a January snowstorm in 1752, George Hempleman and Margarette Duffy must carve out their separate existence, she on a Richmond tobacco plantation and he in the cotton fields of South Carolina. The star-crossed lovers hope to reunite after their four long years of servitude. Will they survive the back-breaking toil, the scant meals, the deplorable living conditions, and the uncertainty of a thousand tomorrows? Befriending black slaves widens their horizons and strengthens their determination. A thrilling escape plan unfolds as 1755 draws to a close. Meanwhile, George II of England and George Washington of colonial America move the pawns of the chessboard, leading to checkmate! Wait a minute--who is that wearing the Hempleman emerald necklace heirloom around her lovely neck?
