Sassafrass, Cypress and Indigo are sisters. They are growing up, and their dreams are far from their Mama's house in Charleston. Sassafrass, the oldest, is a poet and a weaver like her mother before her. Having gone north to college, she is living with other artists in Los Angeles, trying to summon a life out of her work. Cypress, a dancer, is leaving home to find new ways of moving in the world. Meanwhile Indigo, the youngest, is still a child of the South, living in poetry with a supreme gift for seeing the world's magic.
