Listen "Indigo"
Episode Synopsis
Indigo by Beverly Jenkins follows Hester Wyatt, a conductor on the Michigan Underground Railroad. Hester’s hands are marked by indigo, a remnant from her days as an enslaved person on an indigo plantation. When she hides the notorious Black Daniel as he recovers from injuries, he challenges her. Hester finds the man aggravating and attractive in equal measure. As he pushes for a relationship, Hester’s not sure she can make the jump. Her father sold himself into slavery to be with her mother, so to Hester, love is a dangerous thing. Beverly Jenkins famously leans on the historical part of historical romances. She’s written 18th and 19th century stories set in various cities and states in America.Support us on our Patreon!Follow us on social media: Twitter: @reformedrakesInstagram: @reformedrakesBeth’s TikTokChels’ TikTokEmma’s TikTokChels’ SubstackEmma’s Substack Visit our website for transcripts and show notes: reformedrakes.comThank you for listening!
