Sadie's Surrender
After her husband leaves her for another woman, Sadie Johnson feels unattractive. Unable to face a dreary future of shucking oysters and living with her critical mother, she dreams of being a businesswoman. But in 1936, opportunities for women of color in Oyster Island are limited. An oysterman at heart, Henry Rockfield would rather sail than run the local branch of his brother's oyster company. He's not happy about belonging to the town Klan either, but he'll do anything to keep the peace and help his family. When sassy Sadie proves she can run the plant, he can't resist putting her secretly in charge so he can return to the sea. But when desire resurrects a tragic mistake from his past, he learns business and pleasure are a dangerous mix. When racial conflict hits home, forcing them to choose between love and duty, will Sadie surrender?
