Produktbeschreibung
An assassin's bullet and a case of mistaken identity send Mercy Maddox back to the year 1838, to Butler Island--a sprawling rice plantation on a remote sea island off the coast of Georgia. While struggling to adapt to the time slide, Mercy must also come to grips with the nightmare of an Antebellum plantation. There, she is caught up in a ruse to impersonate the famous actress Fanny Kemble Butler in a plot to foil the Reverse Underground Railroad--a monstrous practice of kidnapping free people of color in the North and selling them South during the rise of King Cotton. Mercy also meets Jayda, Fanny's enslaved personal attendant. What starts as an attraction between the two grows into a love strong enough to endure both the savagery of the time and the span of two centuries. Love with the power to bring Mercy home again. Based on real people and real events, Worthless is an adventure story, a love story, and a story of one woman's courage to free both herself and those she loves.
