Josephine N. Leary is determined to build a life of her own and a future for her family. When she moves to Edenton, North Carolina from the plantation where she was born, she is free, newly married, and ready to follow her dreams.
As the demands of life pull Josephine’s attention — strengthening her marriage, mothering her daughters, and supporting her grandmother —she struggles to balance her real estate aspirations with the realities of keeping life going every day. But with each passing year, it grows more and more difficult to focus on building her legacy from the ground up.
