Summary Comfort is a talented young seamstress who has worked to buy her freedom from slavery from her benevolent owner, an Irish immigrant and former indentured servant.

When Comfort falls into the hands of the reprehensible dealer of human flesh Joe Johnson, she is sold south to Virginia to a cruel master and poor manager.
