Description
When Edward arrives at the home of Mary Bayly in 1922, he knows the old lady is dying and plans to give him the Retreat, the legendary Mason family estate, since he is the closest direct descendant of the original immigrant. Edward hopes it's a quick process, but instead spends the day listening to her stories of race, family, and forbidden love in the wake of America's Civil War.
