Dogwood PlantationBy Carrie Fancett PagelsDescription:When a deadly yellow fever outbreak draws Cornelia Gill back home, her new independent life must be abandoned. Injured veteran, Carter Williams, likewise must return to Dogwood Plantation when he suffers grievous family losses. Both become caretakers to younger family members. As the War of 1812 heats up, two wounded hearts begin to heal. But can they manage all that life has handed them? Book Takeaway:Sometimes God doesn't take away a problem--but He always gets you through. Why the author wrote this book:I write stories about overcomers. I was inspired to write this story while listening to a docent tell about some of Shirley Plantation's history. I wondered how difficult it must have been for a young uncle to come home and raise his nephews after his brother, who owned the plantation, died. |
