Her main character, Ben, channeled his being through her telling of his transformation from a world of riches to the horrors of bondage in pre-Civil War time. His fury, pain and passion vividly described to her. Once transcribed, she ceased to hear from Ben; misses him but cherishes the indescribable bond between them and this time in history.
