SYNOPSIS:
…it was
about the land.
It is July
of 1859, a month of sweltering dog days and feverish emotional bombast. Life is
good for widower Rundell Ingram and his hazel-eyed, roan-haired son, Hamilton.
Between the two of them, they take care of Moccasin Hollow, their sprawling
ancestral plantation home in the rolling farming country outside Queensborough
Towne in east Georgia. Adjoining Ingram lands is Wisteria Bend, the vast
slave-holding plantation of Andrew and Corinthia Greer, their daughter Sarah,
and son Benjamin. Both families share generations of long-accepted traditions,
and childhood playmates are no longer children. The rangy, even-tempered
Norman-Scottish young Hamilton is smitten with Sarah, who has become an
enticing capricious beauty—the young lovers more in love with each passing day,
and only pleasant times ahead of them.
…but a
blood tide of war is sweeping across the South, a tide that will forever change
everyone and everything.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT:Sarah toyed with making Hamilton jealous, and on
an afternoon sashay stroll in Queensborough Towne, she made sure he caught her
flirting with a casual familiarity.
Unlike most of her other young acourting squires, his aloof stare at her
was thunderingly silent. For the next
few weeks Hamilton kept himself even busier around the Hollows. It wasn't at all what Sarah expected, and she
never forgot her miscalculation. Some
days later when she rode over to the Hollows, she received another eye-opener.
