Indigo girl. Boyd N.

1739. The father leaves the sixteen -year -old Eliza Lucas for the main one on three family plantations in South Carolin, and he goes to build a military career. Meanwhile, the situation on plantations is heating up, excitement begins among the slaves, and the Eliza family is a step away from losing everything.

The girl finds out how much indigo is paid in France. She is sure that this is the key to saving plantations from ruin, but does not meet support even in her own family. Despite this, Eliza decides to act and concludes a deal with one of the slaves at that time: if he teaches her millennial secret to the manufacture of indigo, she in return will teach slaves to read.

So the amazing story begins about a girl who created a dye that has become popular all over the world. A novel about love, mystery and dangerous friendship, the aspirations and victims that have to be made in the way to the goal.
