The Prequel To Confessions of a Sister Out of Time is a soap opera style entanglement of miscegenation. It picks up where Uncle Tom's Cabin left off and continues four steps beyond. The book tells the story of two mulatto (Quadroon) women of African descent who are reared as white women in a luxurious environment, with slaves of their own. These women become scheduled for the auction block. Later in the story a mulatto baby is switched with a white baby, who was mistakenly cast into slavery. Three interracial marriages take place in the middle of the 1800's story. A slave master defends and participates in a system that unknowing to him, enslaved his own heir.
