A Daughter Named Loo Loo Seized by Slavery Sale
Alfred Noble, a Mobile merchant, buys and raises Louise Loo Loo, an orphan girl of mixed race, educates her, and plans to protect her from sale. As debts and social taboos trap them, a 1837 financial crash pushes Loo Loo toward auction. Noble faces moral peril and contemplates marriage to avert ruin.
