There may still be time for a despondent, mysterious old house with tiny pineapples carved on its eaves to fulfill the dream of one of its owners over seventy years ago. But in order for that to happen, two retired ladies, one black and one white, must unravel the mystery that surrounds both the house and the children who have come to believe it belongs to them. It's these children, living in the apartment complex across from Blessing Path, that most need the puzzle solved because the "e;For Sale"e; sign just placed amid the weeds in the front yard seems ominous to them. The clues include old newspaper clippings, a policeman's chance meeting with a soft-spoken genteel visitor, love letters during World War II, and a mason jar, recently excavated from the backyard that is filled with exquisite patterned shells of the sea, long protected by its rusty cap. Together, these pieces of information draw the ladies from the heart of Texas to the sparkling South Carolina coast and deep into the culture of Charleston and its Gullah heritage. Sweet Grass Memories was built on Texas soil, but if you cross her threshold and wait quietly for a few moments, you might just catch a whiff of pluff mud and taste the saltiness of sea air. - Häftad, Engelska, 2022

Several years have passed since the old plantation-style mansion at 1324 Blessing Path was lovingly restored, but the mysterious old place is apparently still calling the shots. Years ago, when it was discovered that the house had supernatural tendencies, two retired ladies set out on a quest to determine its history. Tracing its lineage from central Texas to Charleston, South Carolina, they uncovered a love story worthy of comparison to Gone with the Wind and eventually realized that there were “plans” for the structure that had been set in place as far back as 1950.
This time, however, events lead one of the ladies not to the east coast but to the deserts of west Texas where she befriends a beautiful, young woman from Guatemala. Wondering whether their meeting was serendipitous, Jamie returns to Sweet Grass Memories, the name given the House, and shares a handwritten letter with Ms. G that the young woman gave her the last time they spoke. The letter, together with a photograph of a lone boat on the shore of the Rio Grande, lead the two of them, Reid, Tracy, and the kids of the House, on another adventure, one that rivals any television docudrama.
The story winds its way from the dry, blowing sand of west Texas, into Mexico, and finally returns to the estuaries and humidity of Charleston, South Carolina, and its indomitable Gullah people. People whose ancestors endured like blades of grass pushing through concrete; endured and sang songs about faith and hope as they journeyed toward freedom.
Just like the Gullah peoples during the slave era, today many others endure. Walking or riding northward through deserts, they journey toward a different kind of freedom; freedom from devastating drought and hunger, and freedom to live again in places that are absent the perils associated with trying to survive where malevolence thrives.

In Our Turn Pluff Mud Injustice, the enchanting Sweet Grass Memories mansion in North Texas holds a rich history of hope, heartbreak, and adventure. Once a home for two individuals from vastly different backgrounds, the House has witnessed the ebb and flow of life over the decades, ultimately falling into disrepair and solitude for nearly sixty years. But in 2012, a spark ignited within its walls, awakening a spirit of determination that beckons new generations. The story follows many kids, but especially a group of teenagers known as the "e;Six Elders,"e; who took it upon themselves to confront injustice after learning about the struggles of a young Guatemalan woman seeking citizenship in the United States. Their legendary tale of activism echoes through the halls of the House, inspiring younger residents to rise against prejudice even to this day. Now, another chapter begins as a Gullah matriarch calls a new group of Sweet Grass kids to South Carolina from Texas. Tasked with battling a greedy resort developer threatening the island home of several Gullah families, the kids must unite once more to champion diversity and fight for justice. Will they succeed in safeguarding the heritage of this unique culture by confronting the forces that threaten their community? Join their powerful journey of courage and resilience in a story that intertwines the past and present, proving that the fight for justice is never truly over.
