"Despite years of separation and increasing turmoil, an uncommon friendship endures"-- Provided by publisher.
Mary Anna Custis Lee is the wife of Confederate General Robert E Lee, and heiress to Virginia's storied Arlington house. Selina Norris Gray was born in bondage at Arlington, learned to read and write in the schoolroom Mary and her mother kept for the slave children, and eventually became Mary's housekeeper and confidante. Forced to flee Arlington at the start of the Civil War, Mary entrusts the keys to her beloved home to no one but Selina. When Union troops begin looting the house, it is Selina who must save its historic treasures.
