The setting is the all-black town of Ruby, Oklahoma, population 360, which was founded by freed slaves. The crime is a brutal attack by nine men on a convent and the women who inhabit it. Morrison weaves the history of the town together with the lives of its present generations which have abandonned the town's founding principles.
