Publisher's Summary

Eugenie Bearhani (1760-1835) was born in Calcutta, raised in Haiti, and brought as a servant - a free woman of color - to America by an English officer on the eve of the American Revolution. Yet none of that prepared Eugenie for her next employer: Colonel Aaron Burr, a man some whispered had made a pact with the devil.

The lines between master and servant soon tangle and blur, and first attraction becomes dangerous obsession. Many historians deny she even existed, but Eugenie and the children she bore to Burr were very real - and so was her little-known marriage to America's first true villain.

well worth the listen. inspiring!

even though the writer filled in the gaps making this a fiction this seemed a plausible story with history as it was.
im so glad this story was written for all to hear how people were treated and how it made them feel.
my ancestors are like these. we are survivors and we carry this instinct even today.
