Though descended from African slaves, they were also  descended from the French and Spanish who enslaved them. Called the Free  People of Color, this dazzling historical novel chronicles the lives of  four of them--men and women caught perilously between the worlds of  master and slave, privilege and oppression, passion and pain.</span>
