Description

Occasions after her delivery for the mistress of the vast Virginia planting, Lisbeth Wainwright is trusted to Mattie, a captive wet nurse. There after, Mattie acts as Lisbethis stand in mom, nursing her, singing her to sleep, and calming her in the night time. And however mothering Lisbeth holes Mattie from her very own infant, Samuel, who lives in the servant quarters. Rising up under Mattieis sensitive treatment, Lisbeth assumes her customs of prayer, singing, eating black-eyed peas, and looking for yellow crocuses in the spring.
