About Sisters of the Soul
Though not linked by blood ties, their friendship is the bond of sisters.
Elizabeth, an illegitimate child, is cast aside as an infant and raised by an enslaved family. She becomes one with her adopted sister, Sophie, the child closest in age to her. Though Elizabeth is eventually reclaimed by the white family who rejected her, the bond between Sophie and Elizabeth is unbreakable. As young women they escape the tyrannical bonds of plantation life, negotiating a harrowing path across the lower states to find refuge in San Francisco. Rose, Elizabeth’s daughter, the result of a brutal rape, is born after they arrive. Elizabeth rejects the child, and the duty of motherhood falls on Sophie. Rose’s bitterness at her mother’s rejection turns to hate. Years of estrangement resolve when the women join forces to help the dislocated in the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake.
