Synopsis
The story of a mixed-race family, Michael Healy, a white Irish immigrant planter in Georgia; his African American slave and wife Eliza, and their nine children, negotiating the terrain of race and ethnicity in 19th century America. Legally slaves these brothers and sisters were smuggled north prior to the Civil War to be educated. Working at the intersection of church history and racial and ethnic, James O'Toole demonstrates that racial categories have been more fluid than law and custom admit. The Healys found freedom and extraordinary achievement by embracing their Irish heritage and the Catholic faith, while distancing themselves from their African roots and slave status.

Review
"[A]lucid, riveting work. ... I cannot begin to indicate the importance of this work for what it tells us about the Catholic Church in nineteenth-century America or about race relations. O'Toole is to be commended for a fine, well-balanced work that examines an issue that the Church wrestles with even today."
