Plum Orchard

Plum Orchard

"Following on the heels of her critically acclaimed <i>Almost to Eden</i>, 2011 Georgia Author of the Year June Hall McCash once again delivers a story of hope and renewal with <i>Plum Orchard.</i> The saga is set on Cumberland Island during plantation-era Georgia and centers around a remarkable woman known as Elisabeth Bernardey. Zabette, as she is called, was born the illegitimate daughter of a planter and a slave and was raised as the planter's daughter, so she finds herself neither completely free nor totally in bondage. <i>Plum Orchard </i>chronicles her journey through the Antebellum South as she strives to live in two worlds while belonging totally to neither. This epic tale spans a large portion of the nineteenth century and is a narrative that explores both the darkness that was slavery and the light that lives within the human heart."<div>  -Raymond L.
