Author Description

In 1775, Allafair Priscilla Wilford, a sixth-generation descendant of French Protestant first settlers, prepares for her future as the sole owner of her family’s vast properties in South Carolina. As a single woman, she may legally inherit and own her estates, but she has no right to participate in politics. She maneuvers between the Patriots and the Loyalists in the American Revolution, only to find herself betrayed by everyone around her. As the Revolution reaches its climax in the South, it appears that, despite her valiant and creative efforts, she will lose everything that still remains, including her own life.
