Lensinda is summoned after a slave hunter is shot dead by an old woman, Cash, recently arrived via the Underground Railroad. Cash refuses to flee before the authorities arrive. Instead she proposes a barter. And so begins an extraordinary exchange of tales that reveal the interwoven history of Canada and the United States. Lensinda realizes she knows far less than she believed not only about the complicated tapestry of her nation, but also of her own family history. And it seems that Cash may carry a secret that could shape Lensinda's destiny.
