Sinossi
Excerpt from The Prodigal Judge
Though he had lived continuously at the Barony for almost a quarter of a century, there was none among his neighbors who could say he had looked on that thin, aquiline face in all that time. Yet they had known much of him, for the gossip of the slaves, who had been his only friends in those years he had chosen to deny himself to other friends, had gone far and wide over the county.
That notable man of business, Jonathan Crenshaw and this superiority was especially evident when the business chanced to be his Own - was closeted in the library with a stranger to whom rumor fixed the name of Bladen, supposing him to be the legal representa tive of certain remote connections of the Old general's.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book begins in a period of great change, where the tattered remains of the Old South struggle to regain some foothold in a world that has moved on. The novel opens with the death of the last of the Quintard line, the once-proud owners of the sprawling Barony plantation in North Carolina. As the slaves mourn their master, they whisper tales of his mysterious past and the hidden motives that drove him into seclusion. Enter Bob Yancy, a local man carrying a heavy burden of his own secrets, who agrees to look after the plantation and the young orphan boy, Hannibal, left behind by the tragedy. As rumors circulate about the boy's parentage and possible fortune, their quiet existence on Scratch Hill is shattered by the threat of losing the child they have taken as their own. The author deftly explores the struggle between the Old South and the New, as well as issues of love, family, and redemption, through the intricate lives of the novel's characters. Ultimately, this is a story that delves into the complexities and courage of those whose destinies were shaped by a rapidly changing society, painting a vivid portrait of a captivating era in American history.
