Billy McHugh is a handsome, 16-year-old from Charleston, South Carolina, who sails to West Africa as a cabin boy on his fatherÕs slave ship--The Wandering Maiden. They pack the hold with hundreds of Kongo and Lucumi slaves, elude the Royal NavyÕs slave patrol and set a course for Cuba; delivering their cargo of human ebony to don Fernando de Castilla, the wealthy and powerful owner of La Dulce Gardenia, a large sugar plantation west of Havana. Billy is captivated by the tropical island of Cuba and the Spanish language and culture. And when he meets Dolores, the beautiful 15-year-old, light-skinned mulatto and illegitimate daughter of Don Fernando, he's swept off his feet by her stunning beauty and sweet, simple nature.

They fall in love, eventually marry and struggle endlessly with the contentious issue of race, at a time when one drop of black blood makes you a Ònigger.Ó The stakes are raised considerably for social climbing Billy, when Dolores gives birth to a brown- skinned baby boy.

The innocent child becomes the source of ever-increasing tension and conflict in the coupleÕs relationship, threatening the marriage and mirroring the explosive racial divide that has plunged the Nation into bloody civil war.

Quality No Show Socks That Are Comfortable and Durable
Size: Large, Color: (100) White / White / Black
These Under Armour no show socks are great for everyday training and casual wear. The cotton blend feels comfortable and they stay in place throughout the day. Getting six pairs in a pack is solid value for a quality brand. They hold up well after multiple washes and the no show style works great with most athletic shoes. A reliable go-to sock.

Comfortable
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / White
I recently picked up a pair of Under Armour socks, and they’ve quickly become my go-to choice for daily wear and workouts. From the first wear, the fit felt snug and supportive without being too tight. The fabric is lightweight yet durable, and it does a great job wicking sweat — keeping my feet dry even during longer runs or intense gym sessions. One of the things I appreciate most is the arch support and cushioning in the right places. It adds just enough padding where I need it, especially under the ball and heel of the foot, which makes a noticeable difference on days when I’m on my feet a lot. The socks also have a nice breathable mesh pattern that improves airflow.
