This horrific backstory becomes the foundation upon which the “modern-day” story (taking place in the 20th century) is constructed. Learning the sordid details of his nefarious plans for her granddaughter, Aggie devises a plan that will allow mother, father and both twins to escape the plantation, but in the end it is only Nick, the father, who succeeds in getting away. Things become untenable for Aggie when her daughter and an illegitimate son of Samuel born to one of his rape victims fall in love, marry and produce twin girls, one of which Samuel finds too irresistible to control his urges. Eventually, in fact, he begins purchasing young available young women on the market solely for the purpose of being held captive in a cabin exclusively used for sexual assaults. In addition to being a planation, it is a house of horrors for young female slaves who become little more than sex slaves feeding Samuel’s incessant appetite. Pinchard’s farm has become a full-scale plantation known as Wood Place. An offspring of the daughter named Beauty is purchased by Samuel Pinchard and rechristened Ahgayuh-more commonly referred to as Aggie. Meanwhile, a mother and daughter are abducted as part of the African slave trade and make their way to a farm in Georgia. Before too long, Pinchard owns the farm both in land and in deed and neither Micco nor his descendants have legal standing to mount a challenge. Micco eventually exiles from his tribe and becomes a successful farmer until the day that a white man named Samuel Pinchard enters his life.
Micco’s killing of his father is an act deemed necessary for the purpose of saving the life of his mother’s brother. The chronological origination point of the story-which is told in a non-linear fashion that bounces back and forth between time periods-begins with an act patricide by Micco, a young boy with a Creek mother and Scottish father.
