Summary

Ammanee goes to St. Anthony of Padua Church in Chapter 21. She remembers Fr. Turgis being kind to her. He used to preach against owning Black men, but now he helps wounded soldiers; likely not Black ones. Deacond Dupont used to also be at the church, and he would give Ammanee jobs. Ammanee and Stella would occasionally go there when Percy was with their mother.
