When Mama and Papa Love learn that they are to have a child, they are astonished to hear that their baby will not be an ordinary child. Instead, she will be a princess, who will one day bring freedom to her parents and to all the slaves on the plantation where they live. But Mama and Papa Love fear that their master, the mean plantation owner. They pray that by some miracle she will be kept from such a terrible fate. Indeed, at the moment of their daughter's birth, a miracle does occur: the Power of Nature make her invisible, and the Prince of Night whisks her from her mother's arms to safety. Years later it is Patience, Captain Pepper's blind daughter, who discovers the Invisible Princess. When she tells her father about her vision of a beautiful black girl in the cotton fields, he recalls rumors of the slave child who vanished many years before. He vows that if the Invisible Princess exists, he will find her; should any of his slaves try to hide the girl, Mama and Papa Love. Together, with the Powers of Nature, they collaborate to foil Captain Pepper's plan. This original fairy tale by one of America's most talented artists is a remarkable interweaving of myth and history, emotion and grace.
