It was July, 1739. Sixteen year old Eliza Lucas sat by the fire. The room was warm and cozy, but big.
Eliza tried to work on her sewing, but it was hard. It was stormy outside. The wind was blowing hard and the rain kept hitting the window. Eliza kept thinking about her plants in the field.
At last she got up and stared out the window.
"Is this rain ever going to end?" she asked.
"What was that, Miss Eliza?" her house slave asked.
"I am worried about my indigo plants," Eliza said. "I hope they make it. We need this bush. It can do so much for South Carolina. But no one can seem to make it grow here."
