Shattered Loyalties

By Karen Chalfant

In 1825, New Orleans plantation life is flourishing when Miranda Croteau marries Morgan Hightower and moves to Hightower Plantation where she quickly and efficiently begins her new life as mistress of the largest plantation in the state. But although she was born and raised in the south with slavery a normal, legal and accepted part of life, Miranda's conscious and compassion always caused her to question the rational purpose and morality of slavery. Then after only a few months of marriage she learns of her husband's involvement in illegal slave matters and begins to feel her loyalties divide between her marriage, their traditional southern ways, and her Christian principles. Eventually her husbands actions cause her life, the life of her unborn child, and that of her personal slave, Megie, to be threatened and she calls upon the help of her brother, Jake, hoping God will somehow lead her to make the right choices and back to the arms of the only man she's ever loved.
