Description
The past collides with the present in this exciting tale that begins in 1844 on Coffin Point Plantation, Beaufort, South Carolina. Beginning with Charles Knight, locked away in a disappointment room, with only Munday, his black nanny, and Helen, her daughter, for companions, the Knight family saga is set in motion. The Disappointment Room is a gripping story of human bondage and the relentless search for freedom; freedom from the ghosts, secrets, terrors, and atrocities of the past. But the past keeps coming back. A fast-paced read infused with the Gullah culture, voodoo, slavery, and the politics of the antebellum and contemporary South.
