This terrifying tale, in the vein of Wench and Twelve Years a Slave, centres on an imprisoned lady who must trade her freedom for love while residing in the most notorious slave penitentiary in Virginia.
Pheby Brown was born on a plantation in Charles City, Virginia, and was promised freedom when she turned eighteen. But when her birthday finally comes around, instead of the idyllic life she was hoping for with her true love, she finds herself thrust into the bowels of slavery at the infamous Devil’s Half-Acre, a jail where slaves are broken, tortured, and sold every day. Pheby is forced to become the violent man's mistress and must make the ultimate sacrifice to keep her heart safe in this gripping account of a slave's struggle for freedom.
