توضیحات
When country girl Tessa Jurgen learns that her bootlegging father has promised her in marriage to a man she doesn't love, she seeks refuge in the supposedly progressive boom town of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The year is 1921.
As governess to the children of an old baron, Tessa is befriended by the black household servants. Chloe, Jasper, and Pole. Together they become a true family. But the rakishly handsome school teacher Gaven MacIntyre is also interested in forming a partnership with Tessa, despite his worry that she is "overly friendly" to black people.
Racial tensions remain at a simmer until Jasper and a friend are accused of "accosting" a white girl. Will Tessa stand up for what she knows is right, even if it means losing Gaven?
