Publisher's Summary:
As did his father before him, Pierce Butler treats his plantation slaves like family. But massive gambling debts force him to sell 429 family members. When the auction begins, torrential rain falls - not stopping until the final slave is sold the next day. The ominous rainfall prompts these words: This aint rain. This is Gods tears.
Based on the largest slave auction in U.S. history, this poignant montage is the fictionalized account of that 1859 Georgia tragedy. All the shrieks and groans, the betrayal and fury, the sorrow and regret are here in the stark, vivid monologues that pour from the souls of master and slave, auctioneer and observer during this Weeping Time.
