Regardless of what anyone says, Daphne and Delilah have and will always believe that they are sisters. But as Delilah grows older she starts to realize certain things, not her dark skin, more like how she is treated better than the slaves but in the presence of outsiders, she must lower herself to fit the description of a house slave. And since she can remember, Daphne always got the better item. From the better dress, better shoes, better presents, better everything. Over and over again, Delilah has sacrificed herself for her 'sister' who has never done the same. But for once in her life, Delilah is tired of trying to please Daphne. She is tired of getting the second option and having to be the second option. And when Augustus Blair comes into town, Delilah is put to the test of choosing a forbidden love or selflessly giving him to Daphne like usual.
