Luli Holcomb, fourteen, hopes that the end of the Civil War means better times ahead for her family and their plantation. Instead, Luli's favorite brother, Gabe, leaves to fight Indians in a border dispute. Union soldiers occupy the plantation's big house, forcing the Holcombs to live in an old shack. And Sis Goose, a slave raised as Luli's beloved sister, is pregnant with Gabe's child. Luli can't imagine things getting any worse-until Sis Goose runs away.
