Pre-civil war story of four enslaved women brought to a "resort" as mistresses to white men. There is the opportunity for escape but this means leaving children, families, and, for some, the emotional ties they have to their masters and lifestyles. The stories are sad and heart wrenching though courageous and "complicated."
