1739. Her father leaves sixteen-year-old Eliza Lucas in charge of the family's three plantations in South Carolina, and he sets out to build a military career. Meanwhile, the situation on the plantations heats up, unrest begins among the slaves, and Eliza's family is one step away from losing everything. The girl learns how much they pay for indigo dye in France. She is sure that this is the key to saving the plantations from ruin, but does not meet support even in her own family. Despite this, Eliza decides to act and makes a dangerous deal with one of the slaves: if he teaches her the thousand-year-old secret of indigo production, she will teach the slaves to read in return. Thus begins an amazing story about a girl who created a dye that became popular all over the world. A novel about love, secret and dangerous friendship, about aspirations and sacrifices that have to be made on the way to the goal. A book based on real events, including letters from Eliza herself!
