Moments after her birth to the mistress of a sprawling Virginia plantation, Lisbeth Wainwright is entrusted to Mattie, an enslaved wet nurse. Mattie serves as Lisbeth’s mother, nursing her, singing her to sleep, and soothing her in the night. As the years pass, Lisbeth struggles to reconcile her love for Mattie with her parents’ expectations for her future, intent on keeping the best of both worlds—until a terrible betrayal forces her to choose once and for all. Yellow Crocus is a compelling novel of love and redemption set during one of the darkest chapters of American history.
