Two little girls - one black, one white - embark into a nightmarish odyssey into America's darkened past during one cold and rainy March afternoon. Hoping to find shelter from a passing storm, Ruby-Lee Braswell and Miracle Henry venture into the overgrown Four Oaks plantation and discover things no children should ever have to witness. Left with no other options but to face their own fears inside Four Oaks or take their chances upon the lawless highway after dark - the two girls make a decision that just might change them forever. What begins as a comedic battle of wills between two precocious children turns into a painful glimpse into the history of the South that will have you flinching and looking over your shoulder before the final page is done. Return to Webb's famed Edgeboro County for this haunting new short story.
