The story of Alex Haley's paternal grandmother. Queen, the almost white daughter of a plantation slave and owner's son. was raised as companion to her white half-sister, though always denied familial acceptance. After the civil war, she leaves the plantation and becomes involved in a disasterous relationship with a white man who viciously beats then rapes her when she reveals her negro secret. Realizing she must seek refuge with blacks, she finds many of them reject her also. She eventually falls in love and has a child, but her lover is lynched by Klansmen and she discovers his dead body, Queen moves on with Abner, now obsessed only with making money enough to go north, but she is destined never to make this journey. She meets a widowed ferryman, Alee Haley, who also has a young son. They must continue his studies and not be allowed to become a sharecopper like most black men in the area. Sadly, the emotional burdens of Queen's life overwhelm her and she suffers a mental break-down even as Simon embarks on the course she charted and becomes an accomplished scholar.
