Miles, Tiya, 1970-
In Oklahoma, Cherokee-Creek researcher Jinx Micco struggles to understand why a mysterious girl disappeared from tribal records two centuries earlier. In Minnesota, magazine writer Ruth Mayes proposes an assignment that will make her face her repressed, violent past. In Atlanta, African American debutante Cheyenne Cotterell learns that a historic plantation nearby is about to be auctioned. Pursuing their individual quests, the three women converge on the Cherokee Rose Plantation in northwest Georgia, where a wealthy Native American once owned black slaves. In 1815, Chief James Hold allowed an Indian mission school on his plantation in an attempt to curry favor with the government. One student there was the elusive object of Jinx's research, Mary Ann Battis, already suspected of burning another mission school to the ground. Reckless and violent like many other slaveholders of the plantation South, Chief Hold killed a slave that had given birth to his own child and then cast his eye on Mary Ann. Over the fall holiday weekend, Jinx, Ruth and Cheyenne come to understand how their fates are intertwined and how--thanks to a buried diary and the lingering presence of Mary Ann Battis--they are spiritual heirs of the Cherokee mission women who lovingly tended to the plantation's gardens. Much as it was left to their nineteenth-century foremothers to stop Chief Hold, Jinx, Ruth, and Cheyenne must discover the courage to save the Cherokee Rose from development and to confront and conquer their personal demons.--
