Description: Juno Washington, a Southern slave and grandaughter of the king of Gambia, is honorable, gentle, intelligent, and capable. Her masters are uncaring and interested only in the money the plantations can produce. In the end, the true worth of a person is the character and merit of their heart not the color of their skin.
