Summary Note |
In 1844, Missouri belle Julia Dent met dazzling horseman Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant. Four years later when their parents permitted them to wed, the groom's abolitionist family refused to attend. Since childhood, Julia owned as a slave another Julia. Known as Jule, she guarded her mistress's closely held twin secrets: Julia had perilously poor vision but was gifted with prophetic sight. So it was that Jule became Julia's eyes to the world. And what a world it was. |
