The sounds treachery, rape, and murder echo within the walls of the renowned plantation known as Primrose Hill in post civil war Virginia. After the death of her father, Caroline Cummings, the last member of the illustrious Primrose family, finds herself solely responsible for the running of the slave-less and impoverished estate. In a society where women have few legal rights, she must maneuver skillfully against Yankee interests as well as her own plotting husband. His conniving to gain control of her property almost succeeds. Aid comes finally in the hiring of a strangely- compelling gardener who shows her a new way of fighting to keep what's hers. Filled with intrigue, romance, and courage, this story is well-stocked with colorful characters, each with a unique slant on life and love.
