Book Description
"Cindy Buchanan was reared on her father's plantation and horse ranch with all the advantages of a privileged, white, pampered child. On her wedding day, she learns that her father has killed himself. Even more crushing, she learns that her biological mother is black. As a result, the groom calls off the wedding, the creditors confiscate everything, and she is sold as a slave. Suffering the humiliation of the auction block, the loss of her father, her fiancé, her friends and her way of life, Cindy finds her new life almost unbearable. Neither black nor white, she struggles with her identity. Confronted with this harsh reality, she forms new friendships and new loves"--Publisher's description.
