- When 7 year old Irish orphan Lavinia becomes an indentured servant, she is transported to Virginia to work in the kitchens of a wealthy plantation owner.

But Lavinia's skin will always set her apart from them, whether she wishes it or not. As she grows older, she is torn between the life that awaits her as a white woman & the childhood she has spent with the people she knows as kin, those suffering under the cruel repression that permeates every area of life in the kitchen house.
