SYNOPSIS
It's 1867 and Lacey Andrews doesn't recognize the world these days. Her beloved South has been crushed in that ungodly war and all around her are signs of death and decay. Many of her friends and family are dead, her plantation has been sold, and Lacey is now forced to make a living as a seamstress for wealthy Northern ladies. Even her husband --a once proud and confident officer in the Confederate army-- has turned to hard liquor for relief. Though Lacey is still surviving, it's a far cry from the dazzle and pomp of her carefree youth.
Then one day Lacey finds herself returning to the plantation she was raised on. Soon her nervousness gives way to a sense of shock when she sees how much things have changed. The new owner of the plantation is one of her most favorite and trusted ex-slaves: a powerfully built man named Samson who is of about 50 years.
At first Lacey thinks that Samson has come to save her. Especially after her many years of kindness to him. But very quickly she realizes that Samson has different plans for the beautiful Southern belle.
Samson still wants to deliver her from her daily toil. Samson still wants to give her a better life. Samson still wants to protect her --and provide for any children she might have in the future. But only if Lacey Andrews is willing to submit to the ex-slave's wishes on a plantation in which the white people now find themselves serving the whims and desires of their black masters.
