Embers on the Wind

The past and the present converge in this enthralling, serpentine tale of women connected by motherhood, slaverys legacy, and histories that span centuries. In 1850 in Massachusetts, Whittaker House stood as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Its where two freedom seekers, Little Annie and Clementine, hid and perished. Whittaker House still stands, and Little Annie and Clementine still linger, their dreams of freedom unfulfilled. Now a fashionably distressed vacation rental in the Berkshires, Whittaker House draws seekers of another kind: Black women who only appear to be free. Among them are Dominique, a single mother following her grand-mres stories to Whittaker House in search of an ancestor; Michelle, Dominiques lover, who has journeyed to the Berkshire Mountains to heal her own traumas; and Kaye, Michelles sister, a seer whose visions reveal the past and future secrets of the former safehousealong with her own. For each of them, true liberation can come only from uncovering their connection to historyand to the spirits awaiting peace and redemption within the walls of Whittaker House.
