520    "Bethany Herbert, daughter of a legendary healer, leaves 
       the South for the new black community of Nicodemus, 
       Kansas. Despite the hardships, the community comes to love
       the prairie. Bethany's mother, Queen Bess, comes to 
       Nicodemus, as does the handsome lawyer Jed Talbot, who 
       galvanizes the settlers. Bethany resists the call of her 
       heart because Queen Bess warns her the best healers are 
       chaste and single. When the Herbert women's medical 
       procedures are undermined, Bethany nearly succumbs to 
       Queen Bess's call for total segregation from the whites 
       Bess hates. Sinister forces come into play through white 
       politicians seeking the black vote, and sabotage by a 
       woman within Nicodemus who yearns for the old color 
       hierarchy. The people of Nicodemus fight back and 
       ultimately triumph" --|cProvided by publisher.
