From the New York Times bestselling author of House of Evea 2023 Reese's Book Club Pick! *A Best Book of the Year by NPR and Christian Science Monitor* Called "wholly engrossing" by New York Times bestselling author Kathleen Grissom, this "fully immersive" (Lisa Wingate, #1 bestselling author of Before We Were Yours) story follows an enslaved woman forced to barter love and freedom while living in the most infamous slave jail in Virginia. Born on a plantation in Charles City, Virginia, Pheby Delores Brown has lived a relatively sheltered life. Shielded by her mother's position as the estate's medicine woman and cherished by the Master's sister, she is set apart from the others on the plantation, belonging to neither world. She'd been promised freedom on her eighteenth birthday, but instead of the idyllic life she imagined with her true love, Essex Henry, Pheby is forced to leave the only home she has ever known. She unexpectedly finds herself thrust into the bowels of slavery at the infamous Devil's Half Acre, a jail in Richmond, Virginia, where the enslaved are broken, tortured, and sold every day. There, Pheby is exposed not just to her Jailer's cruelty but also to his contradictions. To survive, Pheby will have to outwit him, and she soon faces the ultimate sacrifice.

A heart-rending story that’s about a young enslaved woman living in one of the most known slave jails in Virginia.
We follow Pheby Delores Brown in her life as she starts out as a slave on a plantation where she is promised freedom on her eighteenth birthday. But instead of freedom she finds herself being sold off to a jailer who owns the Devils Half Acre, a prison where slaves are tortured and sold every day.
The book features a lot of graphic depictions of slavery as well as violence, rape, abuse and torture. It is not a lighthearted story but a very eye-opening one and the author will have you glued to the pages with her fast paced and striking writing style.
Sadeqa Johnson based it on the real life Mary Lumpkin and she did a phenomenal job of capturing this very real and touching story. I highly recommend this book.
