In a world where she is subjected to the rules and devices of others, Epie, finds a way to secretly record her trials and tribulations as a slave that now lives on her third plantation since being snatched away from her mother almost 20 years ago. Five generations and almost 200 years later, 22-year-old Epiphany Harper, is given this 175-year-old journal as her birthright. She finds that not only is she named after Epie, her great- great-great grandmother, whose real name is Epiphany Baker, but she is looks almost identical to her as well. As present-day Epiphany struggles to survive a traumatic rape by an alleged friend, she draws strength from her ancestor's life. You won't believe the plot twists and ancestral connections as you take a journey through the lives of two women, five generations apart as they experience tragedy, love, loss, enlightenment, and their greatest epiphany yet.
