The powerful antebellum tale of three women and their evolving relationship as master, sister, friend, and captive.

As a teenage girl, Ginny marries Linus Lancaster, her mother's second cousin, and moves to his Kentucky pig farm ninety miles from nowhere. In the shadows of the lush Kentucky landscape, Ginny discovers the empty promises of Lancaster's paradise--a place where the charms of her husband fall away to reveal a troubled man and cruel slave owner. Ginny befriends the young slaves Cleome and Zinnia who work at the farm--until Lancaster's attentions turn to them, and she finds herself torn between her husband and only companions. The events that follow Lancaster's death change all three women for life.

Haunting, chilling, and suspenseful, Kind One is a powerful tale of redemption and human endurance in antebellum America.
