Elizabet, Under the Back Staircase

Elizabet had to learn early on in her life, to know her place in the world. As an illegitimate child of the wealthy owner of the house and his cook, she learned how to balance, having one foot on the front stairs and one on the back. Elizabet experiences love, hate, acceptance and longing as she navigates her way through the turbulence of her life, within the backdrop of the Civil War. She accomplishes what few women in that time period can, she finds her calling.
