Summary
Born in Philadelphia in the late 1800s, light-skinned Hannah Elias has done things she's not proud of to survive. After attaining the life she's always dreamed, her lover's murder turns Hannah's world upside down and threatens to destroy everything she's built. When the truth of her racial identity is uncovered, thousands of protestors gather in front of her stately home. Hounded by the salacious press, the very private Mrs. Elias finds herself alone, ensnared in a scandalous trial, and accused of stealing her fortune from whites. Author of "Sally Hemings."
