Description
The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom is a gripping novel set in Virginia before the Civil War. Orphaned and indentured to serve at a plantation, young Lavinia forms an unlikely bond with Belle, the master's illegitimate slave daughter.
As Lavinia navigates the complex world of the big house and the kitchen, she must confront the dark secrets and deep-buried tensions that threaten to tear her new family apart. Through the eyes of Lavinia and Belle, Grissom explores themes of class, race, dignity, and familial bonds in a heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful story.
This debut novel offers a powerful portrayal of life on an antebellum plantation, shedding light on the experiences of enslaved individuals and the complex relationships that exist within them.
