Book Three in Cook's Georgia Civil War trilogy about the lives and settings of real people and famous antebellum homes. In SUNRISE she told the story of the Hays Mansion in Macon, Georgia; in THE GATES OF TREVALYAN she featured the people and plantations of Madison, Ga., and now, in THE GREENWOOD LEGACY, she tells the story of Greenwood Plantation in Thomasville, GA., a legendary estate that still exists (in private ownership)and has hosted twentieth century celebrities including Presidents. Writing in the tradition of Eugenia Price, Cook (a well-known inspirational author with more than 500,000 books sold) blends extensive research and factual details with fiction to bring real people and places to life. In The Greenwood Legacy, young Lavinia and Thomas Jones settle on the south Georgia frontier in the 1830's, establishing a plantation despite enormous hardships including heat, hostile native Americans, and, finally the devastation of the Civil War. A somewhat romantic view of plantation gentry and plantation life, but respectful of African American characters.
