The atrocious events that occurred on Malaga Island and how they impacted the lives of the residents and their descendants continue to echo through the years. Their impact is felt in many ways and by many lives. The attitudes and actions of both past and present generations are revealed.
In 1903, Cora Lane, vacationing with her missionary parents on nearby Horse Island, is introduced to a community on Malaga Island that the press has labeled “degenerate half-breeds.” They are of mixed race, a circumstance that promotes scorn, ridicule, and intolerance.
More than a century later, Georgia O’Brien, a college professor, is questioning the beliefs and customs of today that result in racial prejudice, derision, and bigotry. As her mother fights for her life against cancer, Georgia and her family are challenged by secrets that upset their views concerning who they are and what they believe.
