Moments after Lisbeth is born, she’s taken from her mother and handed over to an enslaved wet nurse, Mattie, a young mother separated from her own infant son in order to care for her tiny charge. Thus begins an intense relationship that will shape both of their lives for decades to come. Though Lisbeth leads a life of privilege, she finds nothing but loneliness in the company of her overwhelmed mother and her distant, slave-owning father. As she grows older, Mattie becomes more like family to Lisbeth than her own kin and the girl’s visits to the slaves’ quarters - and their lively and loving community - bring them closer together than ever. But can two women in such disparate circumstances form a bond like theirs without consequence? This deeply moving tale of unlikely love traces the journey of these very different women as each searches for freedom and dignity.
Revised edition: This edition of Yellow Crocus includes editorial revisions.

I've read about slavery and the horrible cruelties humans can justify inflicting on each other, but I'd never considered how white children were affected by that kind of society. Nor had I considered the plight of wet nurses and the relationship between them and the children put in their care.
A very eye opening read. Difficult at times, but worth it.
Note: there are some fairly graphic scenes in this book. They're not overly explicit in my opinion, but for those who appreciate prior warning there is some sexual content and a whipping scene.
Great book!
