El baile del agua

Young Hiram Walker has grown up on a slave plantation. When her mother was sold, all her memories were stolen, but in exchange for her, she received a mysterious gift. Years later, when Hiram nearly drowned in the river, that same power will save his life. This experience with death generates in him a need: to escape from the only home he has ever known. Thus begins an unexpected journey that will take him from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia's proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the desert, from the Deep South to black freedom movements in the North. Even as he enlists in the underground war between slavers and enslaved, Hiram's determination to rescue the family he left behind endures.
