Aprašymas

Green Sea Plantation is the first novel of the masterful seven book series, She Heard a Whippoorwill. Two intertwined stories, one intimate love story and one grand historical tale, seize the reader. Lovely, innocent Eliza Carson is a sixteen-year-old daughter of a South Carolina plantation. Though there are a number of would-be suitors, no man claims Eliza's heart-until a chance meeting with the handsome Virginia horse trainer Luke Heyward. The spark of love between them is instant and undeniable. Luke, however, is convinced of his unworthiness and shuns the affection of Eliza. Two hearts seem irrevocably broken.Their story unfolds against the backdrop of America in 1859. A presidential campaign is taking place and the national divide over the issue of slavery, epitomized by the often discussed Lincoln-Douglas debates, consumes the thoughts of citizens in the North and South. All the while, Eliza's family deals with the beauty of their antebellum life and the tragedy of sudden loss. Impossible to set aside, Green Sea Plantation will captivate readers and leave them yearning for all the books in the series that lie ahead.
