Legacy Of Windhaven, Marie De Jourlet, Paperback, Used

The FuryOld Lucien Bouchard struggled and fought to build Windhaven Plantation. Tragedy and violence could not stop him, and what few moments of joy and love he earned were enough to strengthen his determination to found a place of peace and freedom, a home that would reflect his dreams and house his descendants for generations to come. Only in America could this cherished vision come true...until the ugly specter of the Civil War came to visit Windhaven.The FireIt was a war that saw families split and torn, a nation divided and bleeding, and a gentle president killed by an assassin. It also destroyed the life's work of an idealistic pioneer. The Windhaven chateau became a pile of ashes, a smoldering memento of one man's ambitions and dreams, and a bitter reminder of the greed and hate of other men who ravaged the South.The FutureBut a building of brick and timber cannot make or destroy a dream, or break a family willing to fight for its heritage and believe in its legacy of love and understanding. The men and women of Windhaven would not look back at the ashes, but ahead to the shining future...to another place, another beginning. In the West.
