This combines two great features, southern literature and a journey that transforms the protagonist. Inheriting a sugar cane plantation from her father, bring Charlie and her daughter to rural Louisiana, quite a departure from wealthy Los Angeles. Here they discover that prejudice is still alive in more covert ways than before. Charlie discovers that growing sugar cane is hard work with small rewards. But she finds the biggest rewards in her new community and friends and family she has.
