Opis

The Cane Whisperers is a tragic historical saga set in Antebellum Louisiana. When a family of slaves; Jem, Sarah and their children Jack, Coralie and Delia are lost in a card game their lives are thrown into chaos. They are won by ruthless French aristocrat, Julian De Valliere, who keeps the regally beautiful Sarah and her troubled daughter Delia and sells the remaining family members. The story follows their plight for reunion with the aid of abolitionist lawyer Mathew Reinhart, kind hearted prostitute Kaye Sommers, down and out drifter Will Parnell and blue-eyed dreamer Nathanial Colbourne. When they devise a plan for emancipation so begins a game of cat and mouse between Julian and the family he destroyed. Set against the backdrop of New Orleans and Fairfax Plantation, The Cane Whisperers is a story of love, courage against adversity and the elusive quest for freedom in a society designed to keep men and women in chains."
