Cress in Waterbee
1877 - Trapped in her friend's house by a violent mob, 13-year-old Romah has no choice but to help deliver Cress, a biracial child born to secretly married parents. Romah loves delivering the newspaper, but it's a whole other thing to be the news herself. Especially when her own friends and neighbors turn on her. 1884 - The terrifying night of Cress's birth is never far from Romah's thoughts. But it also sparked her ambition to become a journalist. As she embarks on her career, fate again brings Cress into her life and the two head into a future neither can possibly expect.
