Hush Now

When Rebecca Montgomery, daughter of wealthy plantation owner Grafton Montgomery, falls in love with Ruth, a slave, her life is turned upside down. Their journey of self-discovery takes place in a historical period of the imagination-one filled with vibrant characters, intrigue, danger, and the underlying theme of hope.

Touching and humorous, this story takes a look not at what was, but what might have been.

The seeds of this idea were planted at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. We looked out the window and tried to imagine a time in history when people chose to settle this rugged, Godforsaken terrain.

Enthralled by the enigmatic desert landscape, we began our fantastical adventure. The view inspired a conversation that evoked the question, what if? That question catapulted us to a place in history that provided an intriguing and complex backdrop for our story. What if you had been a slave and I a plantation owner's daughter? The thought was horrifying, yet intriguing.
