Unmentionables is about two pairs of lovers in the Civil War south. One couple is straight, white and wealthy. The other couple is gay, black and enslaved.
Field hand Jimmy meets Cato, a house servant from a nearby plantation. Jimmy, who despises whites, mistakes Cato for a white man. But soon he learns that Cato is only half white. Cato is the illegitimate son of plantation owner Augustus Askew. With time, Jimmy's fascination with Cato grows into romantic love.
Unmentionables is also the story of rebellious Dorothy Holland, whose parents own Jimmy. Dorothy does not want any man to control her life. When Dorothy falls in love with Cato's white half-brother, William Askew, she must persuade him to agree to her terms--and to betray his role as a Confederate army officer.
