Blues Along the RiverBy Sandra RobbinsDescription:
When Victoria Turner and Marcus Raines marry, they're both surprised to quickly discover they're not living happily ever after. Marcus continues to remember his late father's warnings about women betraying men, and he wonders if that is exactly what Victoria is doing when she refuses to abide by his wishes. Victoria is appalled that Marcus doesn't recognize how the South is changing after the war and that he can no longer treat his tenant farmers the way his father treated their slaves. Instead of being full of joy, their lives in their beautiful plantation home along the Alabama River reflect the blues sung by their workers. Book Takeaway:God's love can bring forgiveness even to the most stubborn hearts. Why the author wrote this book:To convey how life changed among the people in the Black Belt of Alabama after the Civil War |
