Thomas is the heir to a plantation in Louisiana, and Jeyne, one of his oldest friends, is a slave on that plantation. As the two grow up together, it becomes clear to Thomas, and everyone else on the plantation, that his feelings for Jeyne run deeper than friendship. On the heels of secession and on the brink of war, without support from family, slaves, nor friends, the two struggle to find their place in a world that won’t accept them.Memories of Bellevue is a rich, historical fiction, set in 1861 Louisiana. The plantation setting provides a powerful, harsh, yet vivid backdrop to a story about love, justice, and equality. Overall, the story is well-written. It sets up the next two books beautifully, and I look forward to the continuation in the rest of the trilogy.
