Jesse’s mother died three hours after giving him birth, and Jesse’s father allowed him to be raised by Miss Susanna Larue, a three quarter white blood Negro slave, alongside her daughter; Josephine. Jesse; was nurtured by Miss Susanna, and her mother, Miz Elizabeth Dupree. Despite the gossip and attitudes of folks in the county, Jesse grew very close to Josephine and his surrogate family but in the spring of 1869; on a hammock in the Florida panhandle, thirteen-year-old; Jesse John Colton’s world, changed forever.
Young Jesse was devastated when he came upon the destruction of his makeshift family. He was too late to prevent the beating death of Miz Elizabeth or the hanging of her husband Mister Joe, but Jesse was in time to see the men who had committed the murders, and kill one of the young men responsible. On that day, Jesse pulled to gather the pieces of what was left of his shattered world and he made a vow to young Josie, "I promise you, when we’re old enough, we’ll leave here. We’ll get married, and make our home where no one will bother us, I don’t know where that place will be Josie, but you and I will someday find our serendipity.”
Thirteen-year-old Jesse was unaware, that it was easier to make a promise, than it was to keep it. The road to Serendipity would become dangerous and bloody, as the past, refuses to be, left behind.
