A novel based on the life of Emily Morgan, a beautiful woman of mixed race who inspired the song "The Yellow Rose of Texas" and may have been instrumental in helping Sam Houston win the battle of San Jacinto. Few facts are known, but this novel vividly imagines a complex, intelligent individual weighing her options in a world of harsh circumstances and divided loyalties.
