Although she was born as a free black woman, Alice turns into a slave of the Weylin estate after the imprisonment of Isaac Jackson, her first husband. Rufus has the manic feelings to Alice since he was young and efforts Alice to be his concubine. After that, Alice gives birth to two children. When Dana comes back in time, she and Alice build very close relations. They regularly argue, but eventually, share a deep bond. Alice always efforts to achieve her freedom, showing the passionate way of thinking about the slaves who were willing to getaway enslavement at any cost, and she dreadfully ends her life with suicide when Rufus sells her children as a penalty for a failed uncontrolled pursuit.
