Inspirational Historical
The war is over, but at Fairhaven
Plantation, Charlotte's struggle has just begun. Following her
father’s death, Charlotte Fraser returns to Fairhaven, her
family’s rice
plantation in the South Carolina Lowcountry. With no one
else to rely upon,
smart, independent Charlotte is determined to resume
cultivating the superior
strain of rice called Carolina Gold. But
the war has left the plantation in ruins, her father’s
former bondsmen are
free, and workers and equipment are in short supply. To make ends
meet, Charlotte reluctantly agrees to tutor the two young
daughters of her
widowed neighbor and heir to Willowood Plantation, Nicholas
Betancourt. Just as her friendship with Nick deepens, he
embarks upon a quest to prove his claim to Willowood and
sends Charlotte on a
dangerous journey that uncovers a long-held family secret,
and threatens
everything she holds dear. Inspired by
the life of a 19th-century woman rice farmer, Carolina Gold
pays tribute to the hauntingly beautiful Lowcountry
and weaves together mystery, romance,
and historical detail, bringing to life the story of one
young woman’s struggle
to restore her ruined world.
