ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom tells the story of Lavinia, a young Irish orphan who is sent to live at a tobacco plantation in Virginia in the late 18th century. Struggling with amnesia and a fractured identity, she is taken in by Belle, a mixed-race woman who works in the kitchen house. The novel explores themes of family, race, identity, and the complexities of slavery. Through Lavinia's perspective, the story examines the harsh realities of plantation life, the bonds that form across racial and social divides, and the painful journey of self-discovery amidst oppression.
