The bestselling author of Yellow Crocus returns with a haunting and tender story of three women returning to the plantation they once called home.
Oberlin, Ohio, 1868. Lisbeth Johnson was born into privilege in the antebellum South. Jordan Freedman was born a slave to Mattie, Lisbeth's beloved nurse. The women have an unlikely bond deeper than friendship. Three years after the Civil War, Lisbeth and Mattie are tending their homes and families while Jordan, an aspiring suffragette, teaches at an integrated school.
When Lisbeth discovers that her father is dying, she's summoned back to the Virginia plantation where she grew up. There she must face the Confederate family she betrayed by marrying an abolitionist. Jordan and Mattie return to Fair Oaks, too, to save the family they left behind, who still toil in oppression. For Lisbeth, it's a time for reconciliation. For Jordan and Mattie, it's time for liberation.
As the Johnsons and Freedmans confront the injustice that binds them, as well as the bitterness and violence that seethes at its heart, the women must find the courage to free their families - and themselves - from the past.

Mustard Seed is the sequel to Yellow Crocus. Both are an important read for white people to help us gain some understanding of what it was like to be a black slave in white America. You will not be proud of how these so-called God fearing white plantation owners abused our black brothers and sisters, choosing to ignore the fact that they are fellow human beings with the ability to think and feel pain, to work them without concern for their welfare, as disposable. If some die so what? Impregnating the women will produce more free labor. I hope these two books make you care about those who were slaves.
On the positive side, Laila Ibrahim is a gifted writer whose characters are so believable that one feels they truly know them. Their intertwined stories take you away to another place in time, just what a good book is supposed to do.
I tried to imagine how I would feel if these slaves were my ancestors....
MUST READ FOR US WHITE FOLK

As an African-American woman in the 21st century I've often thought of the religion forced upon our ancestors as another tool to ensure complacency. This book made me rethink my views. Faith provided many hope and a sense of control when there was very little. That faith and hope lead to the bravery to "brake the chains" & risk it all for a chance for freedom. Makes me ask myself would I have had been brave enough to take that risk? I'm left with many things to ponder and perhaps strengthen my own faith.
Great Story of Faith & Bravery
