In the 1830s deep heart of Louisiana, ambition and the bitter legacy of slavery entwine in 'Spinning Jenny'. Young Cornelius Carson navigates the complexities of plantation life, with its land, its wealth, and its human chattels. Against his better judgment and his mother's warnings, he finds himself the owner of Jenny, a mute 10-year-old girl who becomes more than just another slave. As the tides of power and revolution ripple through society, Cornelius is caught in a maelstrom of change that will either forge a path to redemption or sweep away everything he has ever known. This is a tale of love, ambition, moral conflict, and the inexorable march toward freedom.
