Das Jahr ist 1861. Der Bürgerkrieg steht vor der Tür und Tilly Pruitts Bruder Noah ist begierig darauf, an der Seite des Nordens zu kämpfen. Da ihr Vater längst vorbei ist, kämpfen Tilly, ihre Schwester und ihre Mutter darum, über die Runden zu kommen und die schwindende Familie Pruitt zusammenzuhalten. Dann kommt eines Nachts ein geheimnisvolles Mädchen auf einem Dampfschiff nach St. Louis. Delphine ist anders als jeder, den die kleine Flussstadt überhaupt gesehen hat. Mrs. Pruitt stimmt zu, Delphine und ihren dunklen, stillen Reisebegleiter als Boarder zu nehmen. Niemand in der Stadt weiß, was man von den beiden Fremden halten soll, und so fliegen die Gerüchte. Ist Delphines Begleiter ein Sklave? Könnten sie Spione für den Süden sein? Sind die Pruitts Verräter? Eine meisterhafte Geschichte von Geheimnis und Krieg und ein atemberaubendes Porträt der lebenslangen Wirkung, die eine Person auf eine andere haben kann.
