The Indigo Girl by Natasha Boyd Book Summary

“Natasha’s writing is a fresh and modern spin on great Southern literature.” - Ashley Pullo, author of the New Amsterdam series, praise for the author

“A delight to read…Thank you, Natasha, for giving Eliza the recognition she deserves.” - Margaret F. Pickett, author of Eliza Lucas Pinckney: Colonial Plantation Manager and Mother of American Patriots, 1722–1793

A deeply-researched and powerfully-written work of historical fiction, based on the untold story of Eliza Lucas, an extraordinary sixteen-year-old girl in Colonial-era South Carolina, whose actions were before their time: the story of the indigo girl.

In 1739, bright and determined sixteen-year-old Eliza Lucas is charged with keeping her family’s struggling plantations afloat, in her father’s absence. Learning of the high value of indigo, Eliza becomes determined to learn the secret of growing the enigmatic crop, believing it to be her family’s salvation, but everyone tells Eliza growing indigo in the region is impossible. Thwarted at nearly every turn, even by her own family, Eliza finds her only allies in an aging horticulturalist, an older and married gentleman lawyer, and a slave with whom she strikes a dangerous deal: teach her the intricate thousand-year-old secret process of making indigo dye and in return—against the laws of the day—she will teach the slaves to read. So develops an incredible story of romance, intrigue, hidden friendships, threats, ambition, betrayal, and sacrifice, based on historical documents and Eliza Lucas’ own letters.

Educative, entertaining and based on a life well lived. Always amazing to read about the people who have made our country great. This young woman’s story is one of a life well and justly lived within the constraints of the time she lived.

The Indigo Girl. Loved the story. The characters were so well described made for an interesting story.

I was captured by the story of the Indigo woman !. The intelligence and headstrong confidence of young Eliza in this story will serve as motivation for any woman who reads her story.

Great read!. I fully enjoyed the time spent reading this historical novel. Ms. Boyd did an amazing amount of research into the life of Eliza Lucas, a 16 year old girl whose father placed her in charge of his plantations in South Carolina so he could advance his military career. Bravo for finding such a strong-willed character from the mid-1700’s.

The indigo girl. Excellent read. And I Learned a few things to boot!

Indigo Girl. Interesting story of South Carolina in 1740’s when a young woman had to win her father’s plantation while he was away. She started planting indigo and we learn of all of the hardships along the way.

The Indigo Girl. The highs and lows of the life of a very brave, intelligent, strong young woman. Loved it!

Great Work of Historical Fiction. Very well written. Loved the characters and how they stayed true to themselves.

Wow!. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I found myself delighted with a wonderful story of a young woman struggling against the mores of a time when women were expected to be simply chattel. I was caught up in the story from the beginning to the end.

LOVE ,LOVE, LOVED!. Read the book you will Love it. It has everything you want in a book. History,love,hate, encouragement. I had a hard time putting it down.

Indigo Girl. The history around the indigo dye was fascinating for me... i studied natural dyes and batik in Hawaii, learning how to use recipes from many sources. But what anchored this story in my heart were the letters and the situation of an intelligent and very young woman developing in her own way in a society full of constraints we can only imagine today. The sensitive and honest portrayal of slavery is such an important part of this book. Thank you also for a love story based not on beauty but on character.

The Indingo Girl. This was a great book, a page turner with a bit of history to educate the reader. I love it. Definitely a five star!
