Keeper Of The House

Keeper of the House is the story of life in a South Carolina brothel called Hazelhedge, chronicled by a remarkable young black woman Minyon Manigault. Sent there to work as a maid in 1929 at the age of fourteen, the girl becomes a pair of eyes and hands, watching and working almost invisibly in a world where men leave their public selves at the door and women lose themselves in their work.
