This is the story of a New England girl - Emily Fenwick - who went South at the end of the Civil War as the very young wife of a carpetbagger, not knowing what destiny was to hold her there for the endurance of a rich dramatic life. It is also the story of how she met a young Union Army officer, of her love for him, and of the incident which changes the whole course of her career; of how she makes her life in South Carolina and of South Carolina, of the Beaufort family she marries into, and of six tumultuous decades of war, reconstruction, revival, and finally the transition to modern times. The setting is for the most part the town of Beaufort and the sea islands nearby. Though primarily the story of a woman - one of the memorable figures to step from the pages of a novel in our time - it is also an enchanting picture of a land new to fiction: the sea-island world of the Carolina Low Country, of marsh sweep and dreaming tidewater, fields under burning sun, and woods fragrant and mysterious.

An inflammatory, politically incorrect book- humor to those who think, horror to those who feel. Guy Odom uses history to predict that social conditions such as drunk driving, education decline, illegal drug use, crime, corrupt politics, financial scams, inflation, race riots, and foreign terrorism will worsen ten times by 2013. This makes a dictator, a "man on horseback" to rein in an out-of-control nation, plausible and perhaps attractive- a historically sound proposition, but a first for America. Odom offers no suggestions to correct today's social ills. Instead, he applies his own brand of Machiavellian and Swiftian logic in writing to the future "man on horseback." He delineates the causes of America's decline, the offers America's "man on horseback" ideas to "clean up the mess" and build an American Empire. This book is sure to awaken dormant thoughts of unease brought about by the decadence and corruption narcotizing our nation and to offer a catharsis to those harmed by current conditions. Outrageous? Yes. Boring? No.
