It is also an unusual and even remarkable example of race relations that, though begun in the awful days of slavery, worked on some level and continue to do so. After terrible experiences, Hester found sanctuary and a measure of peace with her last owners, the Parrotts, and she and their daughter, ÒMissy Mary,Ó stayed in touch after the Civil War until Mary died.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is also very much the story of two amazing Duplin\u003cbr\u003e\nCounty, North Carolina, womenÑÒMaudeÓ (the author) and ÒHesterÓ (the subject of MaudeÕs book), one White and one Black. Their lives were and are curiously and wonderfully intertwined.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maude Pickett Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44305665523873,"sku":"9781300063711","price":31.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1v94yzk9-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1748395128","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/hester","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
