	abstract = {\&nbsp;"A singular and stunning debut novel about the forbidden union between two enslaved young men on a Deep South plantation, the refuge they find in each other, and a betrayal that threatens their existence"-- Provided by publisher.Isaiah was Samuel{\textquoteright}s and Samuel was Isaiah{\textquoteright}s. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. When an older fellow slave seeks to gain favor by preaching the master{\textquoteright}s gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel{\textquoteright}s love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation{\textquoteright}s harmony. -- adapted from jacket},
