In early nineteenth century New Orleans, a widowed mother struggles to manager her headstrong daughters after the death of her husband. But as the matriarch takes her places as head of the household, a more ominous transfer of power transpires in the region. The French-owned Louisiana Territory is about to be acquired by the United States, threatening the liberty of free people of color residing on the land.
A gripping examination of intersecting captivities, The House That Will Not Stand follows four women in mourning as they look ahead to an uncertain and haunting future.
