Linda Harrison is a prominent oncologist who tries to leave behind a childhood of rape, torture, and time in a mental institution. Her past causes her to fear men, but she longs for a loving relationship. She travels to Germany on a medical sabbatical, where, after twenty-two years, she meets the two people responsible for her dark past; her estranged parents. Linda is relieved when she discovers that the people who paid a man to murder her for her life insurance were not her biological parents.

Mary finds herself alone after the only person who understands her, who has helped groom her to leave and travel to the East to live as a proper white lady, suddenly dies of yellow jack fever, which threatens to kill everyone at the plantation who is white. Now alone, with nothing to lose, Mary sees her chance to escape. It is then she strikes up a friendship with a boy her age who wants freedom and a new life as much as she does. Canada is his goal.
