A lively Southern retelling of Jane Austen’s Persuasion,
featuring Lucy Crawford, who is thrown back into the path of
her first love while on a quest to save her beloved family home. Lucy Crawford is part of a wealthy, well-respected Southern
family with a long local history. But since Lucy’s mother
passed away, the family home, a gorgeous antebellum mansion,
has fallen into disrepair and the depth of her father’s
debts is only starting to be understood. Selling the family
home may be the only option—until her Aunt Olympia floats
the idea of using Crawford house to hold the local free
medical clinic, which has just lost its space. As if turning
the plantation home into a clinic isn’t bad enough, Lucy is
shocked and dismayed to see that the doctor who will be
manning the clinic is none other than Jeremiah Chevy—her
first love. Lucy and Jeremiah were high school sweethearts, but Jeremiah
was from the wrong side of the tracks. His family was
redneck and proud, and Lucy was persuaded to dump him. He
eventually left town on a scholarship, and now, ten years
later, he’s returned as part of the rural physician program.
And suddenly, their paths cross once again. While Lucy’s
family still sees Jeremiah as trash, she sees something else
in him—as do several of the other eligible ladies in town.
Will he be able to forgive the past? Can she be persuaded to
give love a chance this time around?

Re: Persuasion, Captain Wentworth and Cracklin' Cornbread
I know all too well how families feel about people from "the
wrong side of the tracks," because the same thing happened
to me. Your book would make for interesting reading,
because it would bring back a flood of memories for me, as
well as make for good reading. The plot couldn't been more
relevant for anyone, since it happened so long ago to me,
and I'm sure it happens to the youth of today. You must
really plan your day out well, to be able to write, and I
commend you to raise your Children, as well as tend to your
Husband, keep up your website, and write books!! My hat
goes off to you!!
