The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom

"Orphaned during her passage from Ireland, young Lavinia arrives on the steps of the kitchen house and is placed, as an indentured servant, under the care of Belle, a slave and the master's illegitimate daughter. She attempts to straddle the worlds of the kitchen and big house, but her skin color will forever set her apart from Belle and the other slaves."
