Publisher's summary

Transported by an assassin's bullet and a case of mistaken identity, Mercy Maddox finds herself thrust back to the year 1838, into the heart of Butler Island—a haunting rice plantation nestled on a remote sea island off the Georgia coast. As she grapples with the harsh reality of Antebellum life, Mercy is drawn into a daring scheme to thwart the heinous Reverse Underground Railroad, a despicable trade preying on free people of color in the North, enslaving them in the South during the booming era of King Cotton.

Forced to assume the role of the renowned actress Fanny Kemble Butler, Mercy's path intertwines with Jayda, Fanny's enslaved personal attendant. What unfolds is a profound connection between Mercy and Jayda, a love that defies the brutality of the times and the passage of centuries. Their bond becomes a beacon of hope, capable of transcending the savagery of an unforgiving era and the vast expanse of time itself.

Based on true figures and historical events, "Mercy" weaves a tapestry of adventure, romance, and unwavering courage as Mercy embarks on a journey to liberate not only herself but also those she holds dear.
