“This land will hold in memory what happened here. Deep in the soil,
an unhealed wound resides and tears away at humanity, challenging all that is just.”
1770 South Carolina Backcountry
How can one person own another in a country wrestling for freedom?
Dinah’s dark skin color ensures her dreams of freedom will always be just beyond her reach. Her owner, Elizabeth, finds herself powerless in a male-centered world. She seeks a false sense of control by dominating her slave in a culture of white supremacy. Enveloped in animosity and cloaked in mistrust, their lives are riddled with divided loyalties during the country’s first civil war.
Both the beauty and treachery of humanity shine through this story of national strife and the struggle for personal liberty.
BonnaSue Draper’s searingly honest novel explores the conflicts and contradictions of America’s birth amid America’s original sin. Based on the author’s family history, The Other Side offers a timely message of freedom, justice, and power.
