Dr. John Lemoncelli looks to biology to create a metaphor to help victims of child abuse understand its lingering effects: A Parasite has entered into your system as contaminated love. If it has its way, it will invade your psyche-your soul-and consume its host. But you need not give this Parasite one more day of your life. You are not damaged; you are not a bad person. You have an illness from which you begin recovering today.

In the spring of 1860, seventeen-year-old Sidney Judson loses his parents in a carriage accident. Although he thought of  himself as a grown man before their deaths, now he cannot bear to stay at the home he shared with them. He  leaves Roswell, Georgia to journey north to his father's hometown in Pennsylvania where he stays with his aunt and uncle, soon discovering that they are members of the Underground Railroad. While Sidney is facing the past his father tried  to forget and coming to terms with his own role in his  parents' deaths, his entire belief system is challenged by  the community around him. His attraction to the winsome Rachel further complicates his situation as her inner person far outshines that of his sweetheart in Georgia. The closer he grows to his northern family, the more he wishes he'd never promised to return to the south.
