Overview
Are we ever able to escape the past? Should we be allowed to?
Though deeply ashamed of her slaveholding heritage, Temple Prestonās sense of duty and bittersweet memories tie her to Folly Park, her familyās crumbling ancestral plantation in Virginia. Now a cash-strapped tourist attraction, Folly Park was once the home of Confederate General Thomas Temple Smith, a southern war hero who died under mysterious circumstances. Temple is pursuing a plan to secure the house museumās future when her summer research assistant, a Black PhD student, uncovers a remarkable secret: the generalās wife gave birth to a biracial baby while he was away fighting in the Civil War. This discovery turns Templeās quiet, insulated life upside down, andāalong with further revelations about the past that come to light in the ensuing weeksāfuels the growing tension in her hometown as a Black activist and Templeās own race-baiting brother square off in a local campaign for mayor. Faced with threats and betrayal, Temple discovers who she really isāand how much sheās willing to lose to tell the truth.
