Synopsis:
Charlotte Montgomery has spent her entire life believing the world was exactly as it should be. As the daughter of one of the wealthiest plantation owners outside Richmond, she has been raised to value duty, honor, and the prosperity of her family name above all else. Her future is already written - a respectable marriage, a comfortable life, and a legacy worthy of the Montgomerys.
Joseph Carter has spent his entire life knowing that his future belongs to someone else. Born into slavery on the Montgomery plantation, Joseph has learned that survival often depends on silence. Beneath that silence, however, is a brilliant mind, an unbreakable spirit and a dream of freedom he scarcely dares to believe possible.
When an unlikely friendship blossoms, Charlotte begins to see the terrible cost of the world she has inherited. As fear grips Virginia in the wake of John Brown's raid, and an unforgiving new overseer tightens his hold on the plantation, the nation edges toward civil war… and every choice becomes more dangerous than the last.
To remain together, Charlotte and Joseph must abandon everything they have ever known and risk a journey through a divided land where betrayal waits around every corner, freedom comes at an unimaginable price, and love itself may not be enough to save them.
Sweeping, unforgettable, and inspired by the forgotten courage of those who dared to love across society's deepest divide, Jumping the Broom is a powerful story of conscience, sacrifice, and hope in one of America's darkest chapters.
Genre: American Historical Fiction
