Text Box: The story begins in Boston on a snowy night in December, 1882. Amanda Hamrick gladly left her family and their troubles behind when she married her husband, Thomas, and moved to Boston to live many years ago. Now in her seventies, Amanda receives a letter from her long-lost brother, Samuel, who is on his deathbed at his plantation in Grassy Water, Mississippi. He is asking for her help in a most serious matter, and even though they have long been estranged, she carries tremendous guilt for abandoning him. By the time she shares the letter with her beloved husband, she has already decided that she must help her brother. But as they take on the task of fulfilling his final request, she realizes that it will not be easily accomplished.
