Synopsis: Back Cover: "THEIR MARRIAGE IS NOT WHAT THEY DREAMED. "When Victoria Turner and Marcus Raines marry, they're both surprised to quickly discover they're not living happily ever after. Marcus continues to remember his late father's warnings about women betraying men, and he wonders if that is exactly what Victoria is doing when she refuses to abide by his wishes. Victoria is appalled that Marcus doesn't recognize how the South is changing after the war and that he can no longer treat his tenant farmers the way his father treated their slaves. Instead of being full of joy, their lives in their beautiful plantation home along the Alabama River reflect the blues sung by their workers. "Will Victoria and Marcus find the answers they need by turning to the Author of their love? Or will the pain of their pasts and their unwillingness to forgive leave their hearts empty and their home filled with bitterness?" The author wrote this novel within a Christian context. Both Victoria's and Marcus' faith develop and expand when they experience conflicts. Even if you are not a Christian believer, you might enjoy reading this novel and learn some important ideas and practical ways to carry them out by reading this story.
