<b>March 26, 1998. Mississippi</b>. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." <i>Perfect verse for today. Daddy is in the presence of the Lord. We buried him today under blue skies. After all was said and done, we—the children, Mother, and our extended families—sang over Daddy's grave, as we picked flowers for ourselves, a constant reminder of the resurrection of the body. We would see him again.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br />A thousand images of Daddy raced through my mind. He was a giant of a man. A prince, loving, carring. A hard worker, but never a slave to anything or anyone but the Lord and his family. He had no enemies. His presence filled a room. His laughter was contagious. His compassion, unsurpassed. The sting of death did not touch him, though it left us aching inside.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">On Sunday afternoon, September 11, 2016—compelled by some strong move of God's Spirit, we loaded up Mike and Gloria's SUV and drove across the hills of three counties in Northeast Mississippi to just a few miles from Bruce—Charlie and Mary Clark's homeplace. Oh, we had been there many times, always received with such gracious hospitality. This time was a little different. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the past, we roamed the countryside with Charlie in his big truck or on four-wheelers, or just sat comfortably in the beautifully decorated cottage, listening to Charlie weave stories and share memories of our ancestors who courageously defended the Old South in the War Between the States.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Charlie Clark was the "Keeper of the Treasures"! The very first time we were together, he gave me copies of everything ephemeral he had that significantly honored the memory of our great-great grandfather, T.G. Clark and his sons, Jonathan and Albert Henry, who fought, bled and died in the War. He said to me, "Use any and all of this in your books—anything that belongs to me, I am giving you full permission to use in writing about those Mississippi Boys." I trea</span><span style="font-size: large;">sure every word of his essays, copies of personal letters, and photos he kept through the years that related to our ancestors. He even gave me his DNA number that was used to try and locate any evidence of T.G. and the boys. Their dust, we are reasonably certain, remains on the hills of Gettysburg. Charlie was devoted to the Cause for which our ancestors so bravely contended. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You wonder why I am so dedicated to telling the Story? My inspiration came from Charlie Clark who did everything he possibly could to share the history of our family with me.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, we have the letters from those Mississippians. But, more than that, I had Charlie Clark, the historian who knew the tiny details and freely shared them.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On that sunny Mississippi Sunday afternoon, 9-11-16, we sat listening to Charlie and Mary weave the beautiful stories of the past. Mary slipped in some love stories of her and Charlie when he was in the Army. These two were so in love. The most beautiful people, inside and out. Meant for each other. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I knew ... it would be the last time </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">we would see him this side of Heaven. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He sat in his chair, breathing steadily of oxygen </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from his tank, struggling with each breath, but not </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">wanting us to leave, and we didn't. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was Mike, Gloria, Dewey and me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the boys went to the back of the house with Mary. She pointed to Charlie's reading chair, pulled to the big windows in his bedroom. She had arranged his chair so he could see the old familiar places of home without going outside. Confined, but happy! Propped against a huge tree in the backyard was one of the millstones from T.G.'s gristmill, an old landmark of the Clark home place at Sarepta. The perfect resting place for that ancient millstone.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Two years ago, Charlie had arranged for us to go to the Clark Place. I had no idea the memories I would bring back. None of us did. I posted about it on this blog. The pictures are on the sideline.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Charlie walked to the precipice with us, told some stories that surely were of the War years, and walked back to the four wheeler and waited until we had filled up all our senses with how it might have been when our ancestors lived, loved, worked and played on top of that hill and in the valley of McGill Creek.</span><br />

the opposite of being "chilled with experience" as Oscar experienced,
I was moved from deep within, squeezed with emotion until my eyes leaked, when
Rachel said to Oscar, "This is McGill Creek." So very much of my
experiences with Clark family history are centered in the very spot you
describe Rachel standing upon. I treasure all my visits there and the history
of that time we've learned, yet one will always stand out, especially now. It
was a time when only Dad and I WALKED it, up and down those tall cliffs, wading
in the creekbed, and WALKED out. Oh, how I miss those times before COPD! And
Thank you for showing Sam to be a young man with wisdom beyond his years as
shown when he could say to Oscar that he was a "man ... worthy of my mama ...you
have measured up." Although I never met Sam and Harriet I saw their
character in their offspring and thank God for them. Thank you for this
beautiful tribute to our family. God has given you a special gift and I'm so
glad you honor Him as you share it. I love you lots. Teresa</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">First signing at Atlanta Bread Cherrydale Point in Greenville, SC was awesome! Thank you, Jeff and Amber Massey for hosting us! It was great to see old friends from the past, new ones I had never met in person, and those that have kept in touch through the years. From as far away as Waynesville and Hendersonville, NC they came! And locals from Simpsonville, Easley, Piedmont, Travelers Rest, Greenville, Taylors—I couldn't believe it. I started signing at a little past 5:00 and hubs and I didn't leave until 9:00. I was able to get a few pictures, but if you were there and you have some to send me, please email to </span><a href="mailto:janegaddywrites@gmail.com"><span style="font-size: large;">janegaddywrites@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. I will love you for that!</span> <br />

next generation. They each have a story to tell, and though death and sorrow have
drawn lines of separation through the years, Gaddy, in her novels, has kept the
remaining characters bound with loving ties.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #555555; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I will be posting my book tour schedule soon, maybe this evening. I have twelve signings in Mississippi and Tennessee in the first three weeks of September. I was told I could not be gone a month this time! So I will be quickly hopping from one southern town to another. One of those days (September 15) I have three signings. In one day? You're killin' me!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #555555; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Thanks, friends, for attending the Atlanta Bread signing! It was great to see all of you, to sign my books, and fellowship for those hours. Let's go there again—soon!</span></span><br />

novels, is the author’s best yet! Her son, Peter, also a writer,
thinks so, too. He writes, “… </span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">you
are engaged in the pursuit of the story. Eavesdropping on the lives and loves
and secret words of a world you dared to imagine. There are so few things in
this brutish life worth admiring. God's magnificent creation, music, true art
and words. Strung together or left alone. Sewn, a quilt of emotion and thought.
Beautiful glorious letters placed gently beside one another until they speak
and, if you're lucky, they change someone's mind, or better yet, their life.”</span></div>

MS, and Manhattan Island, NY, worlds apart by virtue of custom and culture, in
the year 1876 and forward, Gaddy, through her beloved heroic Rachel Payne, reveals
the dreams and desires of all her characters collectively and individually, as time
takes them beyond the disheartening years that followed the War Between the
States, its aftermath, and into the next generation. They each have a story to
tell, and though death and sorrow have, through the years, drawn lines of
separation, Gaddy, in her novels, has kept the remaining characters bound with
loving ties. </span></div>

the seemingly impossible happen? Beyond that, does she really have the right
and permission to love again? And her friends—many of them are in the same pitiable
condition. She will not forsake them. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></div>

We're almost there! Just a few minor adjustments and this book can go to the publisher. It has been a long time coming. Over a year for this one. But there were many interruptions along the way. The sale of our house in Florida. The move to South Carolina. And in these last few weeks, I was overtaken by the flu and pneumonia that took a large portion of my strength. I keep saying I hope to be fully recovered in a few days, but it is taking longer than I thought. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I share another portion of <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">TO LOVE AGAIN</span> </span>with you. Look at the photos down the side of the blog. They are of McGill Creek, a very real place, it's history dating back to before the War Between the States when T.G. Clark and his family lived and worked and played right here. It was my joy to visit the old home place of my ancestors last summer, a place I had written about having no idea the full impact. I wish I had known. But now it is indelible in my mind and the pictures will keep the memories alive forever.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">This is from Chapter Ten</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The
hardwood trees were naked now, the ground covered with their summer clothing of
dry brown leaves. Tall pines and cedar intermingled to keep the
color green year round. They walked gingerly and crept closer to the edge on
the steep banks where they could now see on both sides. It was like a rising
place. Every step they took brought them closer to the precipice and in circle
vision, the banks rose up before them revealing a breathtaking view of the
creek bed below.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Oscar
gasped. “Amazing,” he breathed.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“This
is McGill Creek. I guess it has been here since these hills and valleys were
formed. It will be easier to see to the bottom now that the leaves have fallen.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">A
little gust of cold wind blew off the stream below, hitting the clay wall. They
shivered and walked on, Rachel leading the way. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“The
boys grew up on this creek bed. The water gets a little deeper downstream. It
looks like another country down there, don’t you think, Oscar?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“Yes,
it is amazing. In the first place, I would never have dreamed it is here,
hidden by all the trees and bushes. You see the tree line and then, suddenly,
you could easily fall off the edge. It’s indescribable, Rachel. I can see why
you love this place. It looks like God landscaped it just for the Payne family.
People would envy you this enigmatic hiding place. Until you come to the edge,
you would never know what is beyond this tree line.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“I
don’t come as often as I used to. The boys are afraid I'll slip and fall or
that I will attempt something dangerous like we all once did. They scold me
every time I tell them I’ve been. That is not reason enough to stay away.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“Indeed.
But now I will be the one worrying that you might get hurt if you come here
alone. On a more positive note, let’s hope that you are seriously thinking of
coming back with me to New York.”</span></div>

am thinking about it, Oscar. But, will you consider staying with us until after
Thanksgiving? Jessie and I have planned to have both our families and a small
group of close friends, including Winfield and he is bringing Matlock with him.
Knowing all my friends and family as I do, they would not expect me to stay,
but I have that expectation of myself. What do you say, Oscar? I know you need
time to think it over and that you must get back to the newspaper, so I am not
going to pressure you.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“Rachel,
you do drive a hard bargain, but let me send Carlisle some wires and receive
some thoughts from him about how things are going there. As you know, he has
sent only positive wires so far. I have to believe things are as they should
be. But if he hears me say I will not return until after Thanksgiving, he could
well panic. That is three weeks away. I want to say yes so badly. I don’t even
want to return to New York yet. But I need to get a room in town. I have stayed
far too long in Jessie’s home.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“I
don’t think Jessie is going to stand for that. I will leave it between you and
her, hoping that you will stay with us. What on earth will Savannah do if you
leave? I cannot vouch for The Inn personally, for I’ve never stayed overnight
there. Let’s just say you could possibly take a different view of Sarepta, if
you know what I mean.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“I
am persuaded,” he said. “I’ll have a talk with Jessie.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“And
I’m relieved,” she said. “Now let’s get going before it starts to get dark and
colder.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">They
mounted and Oscar pulled his steed close to Jasmine, reached over and tightened
Rachel’s shawl about her. She smiled and touched his hand. They started to ride
away and he spoke from his heart. “Rachel, this has been one of the best
days of my life. Seeing how you have lived through the years, the blessed
peacefulness of this place. Visualizing all the hard work and sacrifice it has
taken—I am beyond awed. I am more on the jealous side. And why shouldn’t I be?
There is never a day that you cannot get out of the house and walk ten feet to
come in communion with God in your own special meeting place. There is
something to be said for a proper portion of tranquility and the hustle and
bustle of city life." </span></div>

Eve, 2015</span></b><br />
To be nearing the end of another <b><i>Novel of the Old
South</i></b> is a great feeling. I’m sharing a small piece with you in
hopes that you will become as excited about this book as I am. It is the sequel
to <em><b>Rachel, After the Darkness,</b></em> and part of the series<em><b>, The
Mississippi Boys, Isaac's House, </b></em>and <em><b>JOAB. </b></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Many
of you expressed your feelings about </span><b>Rachel</b></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">.
You didn’t want it to end. I knew when I wrote the last chapter that it would
have to be continued, which suited me fine. </span></em>I should be finished
with the manuscript in less than two weeks. Then for the hard edit, which will
take some more time. And the publishing process—well, I cannot put a timeline
to that. As soon as it goes to the publisher, I will begin preparing for a
month of signings from Memphis to the Mississippi Delta to the Hills of
Northeast Mississippi, where I will be at home!<br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Portions of Chapter
Nine</span></i></b></div>
<strong><i><span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Freestyle Script"; font-size: 24pt;">Light in the Darkness</span></i></strong><br />
The clock in the hall ticked away at the Jamison farm; Jessie, a nervous
wreck. She hoped there was no evidence on her face. She had done her job well,
not breathing a word to Rachel, who, suspecting nothing out of the ordinary, was
her calm and cool self. Winfield could be late, very late, getting back to
Sarepta, which meant that Jake would be past seven o’clock arriving with their
guest. Jessie had waited as late as possible to fry the chickens. Potatoes were
mashed with fresh cream and butter. Her green beans, which she preferred to
cook down with a little bacon grease, sat warming on the back burner. Jake Collins had brought fresh tomatoes earlier in the day. Hot
biscuits, basted with a brush of buttermilk, were ready to pop into the stove
while two pecan pies cooled on the sideboard. Jessie had told Savannah
everything, and she had gladly helped her mother prepare, purely delighted she
would soon be seeing Mr. Oscar Alexander in person for the first time.<br />
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
At just after dusk, Matlock charged into Sarepta,
passing the Mercantile, Post Office, and The Inn, and headed for Winfield’s
Livery Stable. The sun had dropped against an autumn landscape and the clear
sky was filling up with stars, offering an enchanting evening. In spite of all
the travel, there was no sign of fatigue on the faces of the three men who rode
into town. The event was too significant to waste on exhaustion.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
"Here we are, Oscar. Our little piece of the
South. You blink and you miss most of it.”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Oscar laughed, partly giddy, partly overcome with
joy at having arrived.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I’m sure Rachel will see to it that you get a
grand tour of her town.”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Well, I can say one thing, Winfield, you have
given me a splendid ride so far, one that will be with me forever, a great
beginning toward understanding the lay of the Southland that I’ve only known as
a fantasy. It is slowly coming to life for this city man.”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
He opened his valise and handed Winfield an
envelope fat with money in payment of everything, including the use of the
horse and carriage for two weeks and a ride back to the Memphis train station.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“No sir, Oscar. I can’t take your money.”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Oscar put a second envelope into his hands. “You
don’t have a choice, Winfield. And this envelope is for the purchase of the
horse you loaned Rachel. I want her to have her own horse. That is, if you will
house Jasmine if Rachel were to happen to go back with me to New York. Then I
will send monthly board.”</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“Oscar,
this is far more than generous,” said Winfield. “And what you just said could
turn into somethin’ that would grieve me. Losin’ Miss Rachel, that is. I will
accept your generous gift, but I will board Rachel’s horse without monthly
payment for as long as you require. Can we leave it at that?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“Yes,
yes we can, and thank you kindly. And thank you more than you will ever know
for the splendid ride and tours of Memphis and Holly Springs.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“Pleasure
was all mine, sir. I’m honored to be the first to greet you on what I hope and
pray will be a continued heartfelt journey to—well, you know what I mean—here
comes Jake out to meet us, now. He’s got your horse and carriage ready. It
might be more like what you’re used to drivin’ in New York City.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“It
looks splendid," said Oscar.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Winfield
introduced Oscar and Jake and the men helped Matlock transfer the baggage.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“Good
night, friend,” said Winfield. “I must see you soon, as I want to know from you
how this reunion went down! It’s been a pleasure to be in such distinguished
company.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“I’m
the one who has profited, Winfield. And we will definitely meet up in the
coming days, for I have great plans that include all of us. Good night.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">What
takes place before and after this portion of Chapter Nine is an amazing and
intriguing love story in which all my Sarepta and New York characters converge
upon scenes in the North and in the South to keep the fires burning on the
Payne Saga. I’m not saying it will be my last, but it will give conclusiveness to some events and characters that were left in my valley of indecision.</span></div>

amazing sequence of events began to unfold the first year after the end of the
War Between the States. As far back as April 25, 1866, some southern women from
the little North Central Mississippi town of Columbus were decorating the
graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen at Shiloh, one of the bloodiest
battles of the War. They placed fresh spring flowers on the graves of their fallen
heroes, soon realizing the graves of the Union soldiers were bare because there
were no family members to care for their burial sites and to memorialize them.
The women began to lay flowers on the Union soldiers’ graves as well as the
graves of their own Confederate dead. It was a day of remembrance of the young
soldiers who had been reluctant to fight a cruel war that meant they would have
to kill or wound their fellow countrymen. </span></div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Three
years after the end of the War, in May of 1868, modeling the tribute paid by the
women of Columbus, Mississippi, Union General John A. Logan declared May 30 as
“Decoration Day.” That first year, 5,000 gathered at Arlington Cemetery. The
remembrance ceremony started at the top of the hill at General Robert E. Lee’s
home place. They draped the portico in black, depicting a time of mourning the
fallen; they made speeches, and the children from the Soldiers and Sailors
Orphanage and members of the Grand Army of the Republic (a Union veteran’s
organization) sang hymns and walked through the cemetery strewing flowers and
placing flags on the graves of the country’s heroes, both North and South.</span></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">In
1966, Congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, New York, the
actual birthplace of Memorial Day because on May 5, 1866, they first honored local
heroes of the War Between the States. After World War I, Memorial Day was
expanded to honor those who died in all American wars, and in 1971, an Act of
Congress declared it a national holiday. Tradition is still the same. We
decorate the graves with spring flowers and small flags. We are a country of
traditions, and we will honor our war heroes now and forever.</span></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">We
all have our stories. My great-great grandfather, Thomas Goode Clarke, a
Captain in Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, with his sons, Jonathan and Albert
Henry, fought and fell at the Battle of Gettysburg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their dust and DNA are still on that
battlefield. We remember them in a little cemetery in Sarepta, Calhoun County,
Mississippi, where the Sons of Confederate Veterans have placed stone monuments
and small Confederate flags to their memories, in a row, beside my great-great
grandmother, Margery Brown Rogers Clark’s burial site.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">I
dedicated my first historical fiction novel, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Mississippi Boys</i>, to the Clark men who gave all, the
epilogue ending with these words:</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0.5in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>… my heart beats
like a muffled drum as I think of how it might have been and I lay an imaginary
wreath upon their graves, somewhere out there on the Wheatfield or on Cemetery
Ridge or perhaps in the Peach Orchard or in the marshy place. It matters not,
for God knows the precise location of their dust, and at the resurrection, we
will glory in his infinite creative, for He will gather us together and
catch us away to be with him nevermore to part.</span></i><span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Thursday
afternoon, I had the profound privilege of speaking to the residents and staff
of Mease Manor at Memorial Day Celebration 2015 in Dunedin, Florida. I
displayed my books on a beloved Confederate Flag, given to me by my friend,
George, from Maine, if you can believe that! I proudly display it at every book
signing in honor of my forebears. I told the story of Shiloh—how that once a year, our Creator God decorates that battlefield with beautiful blossoms of pink and white from the peach trees and dogwoods and redbuds and privet, from Pittsburg Landing to the Widow Bell's peach orchard and her home at the far end of the battlefield; and in between, the hornet's nest, Shiloh Church, and the Bloody Pond—a story of war, of hate and death, of love and life and restoration that issued from that day of battle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "garamond";"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">But before the service started, I
mingled with the staff and as the residents began to come in and take their
seats, I talked with some of our returning heroes from World War II and
forward. Their stories are amazing; their
photographs displayed on the tables, reminiscent of those years. Most of us seventy-five
years of age and younger haven’t a notion what they endured. We have them
romanticized in movies, in their photographs all uniformed up, and we see them
kissing their wives and sweethearts good-bye in those deep knee-bending images,
boarding the ships, and leaving, some of them to return in a flag-draped coffin.
Thank God for those who survived and came home though weary and battle worn. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">We say we feel
their pain, but do we really? Unless we served, we cannot feel their pain, but
we readily celebrate their return home when the wars are over. That is the very
least we can do.</span></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;"></span><br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">After a
few minutes, I turned toward my table again and there was a lovely lady in her
nineties pouring over my book covers and the Confederate Flag. I sat still
until she finished. Then she turned and faced me and very proudly declared, “I’m J.E.B. Stuart’s
great granddaughter.” I stood and put my arms around her. I could not believe it. I
visualized the young General Jeb Stuart, audacious and colorful with the interminable plume in his hat,
riding high-booted in the saddle across the Shenandoah Mountains and Valley, commanding General Robert E.
Lee’s Virginia Cavalry. It was a pleasure to meet Flora Dunham, a member of the Mary
Custis Lee Chapter 1451, Clearwater, Florida, United Daughters of the
Confederacy. We bonded in two minutes, and I introduced her as I finished
speaking. I’ll have to say to you, those Yankee Senior Floridians gasped, possibly not realizing that they had been rubbing shoulders with someone that was directly related to a Civil War hero.
There were only a handful of southerners in that gathering room, but all
barriers were down, as they became one with the women of Columbus, Mississippi in
1866 and Jeb Stuart's great-granddaughter, Flora Dunham. When it comes to celebrating our forebears who fought—well, love has no boundaries. They gave Flora
(and me) a big round of applause. </span></div>

another new friend. I was so impressed with him. A veteran, a pilot, and a
delightful young man. He was much younger than most of us, but he dared to come
right in and participate. Here's a salute to John Kenefick from St. Petersburg,
Florida! John, I hope you love the story of Shiloh in JOAB!</span><br />

That's what makes fiction so wonderful. You don't have to explain it. You just have to "step into the water and wade out a little bit deeper."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">She dared to trifle
with the past searching for answers to reasons why—answers that would suffice
to comfort and cajole her into concluding that the war years and those that
followed had not all been in vain. One thing had led to another.</span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The train rumbled out
of the depot of the Bluff City, Memphis. For three days of insufferable jerking
and jolting, three evenings of watching the moon wax and wane and the sun rise
over the South, each day dawning with splendid frescoes adorning the mists that
hung sparsely before her, Rachel pressed her face to the window and
watched as the train dipped and glided eastward across the fruited plain
and—at the end of the third day—though tired to hurting, she drew a deep
breath as the cars thundered on the trestle over the Hudson River into full
view of the Gilded City.</span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">But the war was over.</span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">At that moment she
had no way of knowing that life would once again have splendid meaning and
purpose and that it would unfold someplace other than the Old South. The
memories were haunting, beautiful, troubling, soothing. How and why such
glorious contrasts? She had asked the question a thousand times, wondering if
she could, in some small measure, ever hope to bring those days back. She longed
to bring them back.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">And she had not for
one moment forgotten, not that Oscar Alexander would let her. The memory, the
very thought, of a gentle touch and loving spirit, a godly soul, a perfect
gentleman reaching to take her hand, still took her breath away as though it
were yesterday.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Her six-month
assignment as a post-war journalist was almost over when on September 18, 1873,
the financials crashed and New York City took the hard blow. Oscar, loathing
every memory of that day, had frantically made arrangements for Rachel to leave
the City before the railroads shut down and the cars were no longer making the
long journeys out of the City. They had dared to express their feelings on that
day, an experience born out of unusual circumstance, although Rachel never gave
a thought that such might happen the day she left Sarepta, Mississippi, for New
York City. She was from the war-town South and had known the love and
protection of the grandest southern gentleman on earth. At the same time, she
was skilled at making the most out of life, of suffering need and want, of
living with and without. Oscar was born in London in pageantry and wealth, had
come to America as a young man only to add to his affluence as owner and editor
of a successful New York newspaper. Six enchanting months with Oscar and
the newspaper had given Rachel faith. Faith for a lot of things—</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">She reached into the
pocket of her apron and touched the wrinkled envelope, slowly took the letter
out and read it again. There had been many letters from Oscar through the
years, but in this one, Rachel could hear the urgency, the need, the love.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Carefully folding
the silky paper and returning it to the envelope, Rachel pulled the corner of her
cotton dress to the tops of her shoes and took the steps off the porch and into
the warm sun. Standing in its rays for a few minutes, she looked to the east
then to the west and started to run towards the sun.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">“Oh, Oscar! Love is not
supposed to feel this way.” Her words echoed across the hills—</span></span></div>

The easy part is what you know about your own personal characters. <br />
What was going on around them at the time is quite another story. <br />
<em>Rachel, After the Darkness</em> covers a relatively condensed timeframe, <br />
beginning in late fall of 1872 and ending in late September 1873. <br />
Research that covers a little less than a year may not seem significant, <br />
but the year 1873 was not one of those insignificant years. <br />
In fact, the drama was amazingly intense, <br />
and I wanted to cover as much as I possibly could. <br />
That year combined with Rachel's memories <br />
covering the greater part of the first decade <br />
after the War, Reconstruction, and the <br />
continuing aftermath that droned on and on<br />
makes for an incredible story.<br />
If we are smart, we will never exhaust the <br />
War years and beyond from a literary perspective. <br />
Those years were rich with important information.<br />
I'm sorry to say, I didn't know a lot about the North <br />
before I started writing historical fiction. <br />
Learning has been a journey I will never forget,<br />
nor do I regret. <br />
Our ancestors were all Americans. <br />
They all had dreams and aspirations <br />
that were passed to us from "our" Founding Fathers. <br />
George Washington was a southern gentleman, born and died in<br />
Virginia. He had no political party.<br />
Sam Adams, Delegate to the Continental Congress,<br />
was born in Boston and died in Cambridge.<br />
He was a Democratic-Republican.<br />
John Adams of Massachusettes was a Federalist.<br />
Thomas Jefferson was a Virginian, a Democratic-Republican.<br />
James Madison was born in Virginia Colony and was a<br />
Democratic-Republican.<br />
We were all raised under the same flag—the red, white and blue. Old Glory! And we all lost in unspeakable fashion—620,000 Americans to a war that was immoral and unnecessary. The more I researched, the more my eyes were opened to how the North felt about the War and the South. I was pleasantly surprised. I hope I portrayed that in <em><strong>Rachel, After the Darkness</strong></em>.<br />
Here's another little portion. <br />
Thanks for reading!<br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Pristina;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Mystery Unfolding</span></strong></span><br />
February came to a close, but not
the cold and snowy weather, and on the last day of the month, Mr. Granderson
sent a runner to the Payne farm with a piece of mail that would change Rachel’s
life forever. The return address bore the name Oscar D. Alexander, Editor, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The New York Elite Press</i>, Broadway at
12th Street, New York, New York. Rachel gasped. Despite thoughts that she might possibly hear from the
newspaper, she had not given weight to how she would react if she did. She
hesitated to open the sealed envelope and pacing the floor for half an hour,
she decided to wait until Samuel came home. It was already half past four and
he would arrive soon. She stood in the window clutching the letter.<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto;">
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Within minutes he was trotting toward the barn on
his beautiful mare, rain dripping from the boy and his horse. Momentarily,
Rachel’s heart welled with happiness. He dearly loved that horse, his true
companion and the best ride to Sarepta School imaginable. She took the letter
to her room and left it on the vanity—unopened. In less than half an hour Sam
had unsaddled and tended his mare. In the meantime, Rachel filled the pot with
water for tea and shoved a pan of biscuits into the stove. He would smell the
ham frying before he opened the door.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Sam, you’re cold and wet.”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Yes’m. Freezing.”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I’ve already milked Kit and fed the chickens and
hogs. You don’t need to do any chores tonight. Why don’t you run change into
your warm pajamas and robe and sit by the fire a few minutes. I’ve got biscuits
in the stove. How was your day?”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“The best yet, Mama. We’re learning about
Shakespeare and reading Macbeth. Mr. Worthington knows a lot, and he explains
it so we can all understand. I never thought I would like Shakespeare, but it’s
starting to make sense, mostly. I brought my book home to read some more
tonight. I really love school, Mama. Thanks for making it possible for me to
go.”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Sam, you have amazed me in all of this, and I
think it’s making you grow into quite a brilliant young man. You will be
teaching me soon!”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Aw, Mama, I allow you know way more than you let
on.”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I’ll be back in a minute,” she said, laughing at
her son, “and we will eat supper.”</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Rachel swished to her room and opened the letter.
She wanted to read it before she shared it with Samuel since she had no idea
what Mr. Alexander would be saying. If it was something negative, she would not
bother Samuel with it since he never knew Rachel had sent the article in the
first place.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
She sucked in a not-so-silent deep breath and
caught her chest, then spoke out loud. “Oh, Lord! What have I done?”</div>

The anticipation<br />
of Saturday, July 19, 2014, <br />
hoping all my friends and family will be there. <br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
The unknown. </div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
And somehow everything just </div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
fell into place and I found myself <br />
enjoying this <em>Old Familiar Place</em> like never before.</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
All my first signings are here at this grand old <br />
"Café Eclectic" on a corner where North meets South.</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
Thanks, Friends, for being there for me.<br />
You bought my books,<br />
shared good times, coffee and pastry.<br />
I loved that we met new friends<br />
from as far away as Miami! And the constants were<br />
there, of course, friends from Toronto and New York <br />
and Pittsburgh, and Indiana and Maine and Florida and on and on!<br />
I do feel outnumbered at times!<br />

at Panera Bread in Trinity, Florida, on<br />
Saturday, July 19, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.<br />
I look forward to seeing all my local friends <br />
for coffee and for celebrating the publication of <br />
my fourth <em>Novel of the Old South</em>. <br />
If you are close by on that morning, please come<br />
see us. Colonel Andrew Domarasky will be signing<br />
with me, so you will meet him and some other<br />
folks you may not know. I always look forward<br />
to my first signing. Joint Venture and General Manager<br />
Tim Curlee generously allows me to have it at Trinity Panera.<br />
He said, "You write it here. You should always have your first<br />
signing here." Now, that's special to me. <br />
<br />
<br />
I will be announcing my Mississippi and Tennessee signing<br />
tour soon, attempting to get it all scheduled in one month's <br />
timeframe. I will post as soon as I have that completed. I<br />
have some new places to visit to take my story of the<br />
Payne Family of Sarepta, Mississippi, the war years<br />
and Reconstruction and the aftermath of a most<br />
devastating time in American History.<br />
<br />
I hope you will take a moment and send me a note.<br />
Also you can order my books from the publisher, <a href="http://bookstore.iuniverse.com/Products/SKU-000938776/Rachel-After-the-Darkness.aspx">iUniverse</a>,<br />

hoping that all of you, my friends, will join<br />
me at one or two of these events. <br />
I can't thank you enough for standing<br />
by me and for supporting my books.<br />
I have some wonderful opportunities<br />
coming my way. Mine is to be found<br />
faithful with my purpose for writing, always<br />
to honor the Lord with content and in the<br />
signing venues. This is my opportunity to give <br />
something in return for what my ancestors <br />
did for me in the preservation of the Old South, <br />
even to giving their lives for a Cause that seemed, <br />
at the time, lost, indeed. <br />
<br />
<br />
From here the flame will never die. Our Mississippians<br />
fought till the end to protect and preserve a way of life.<br />

<em><span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
The exhausting job of proofing the <br />
book block and cover copy is over, <br />
and soon I will see the final proofs <br />
before we call this book published! <br />
I can hardly wait. This is not easy. The<br />
worst part is handing it back to the <br />
publisher for the final dip. It has my <br />
blood, sweat and tears all over it.<br />
There is at least one error in every book <br />
that has ever been published, but I crave <br />
a perfect book. To clear my personal hang-ups, <br />
I went to the shelves at Barnes and Noble and <br />
laid my hand on <em>Gone With The Wind</em>. <br />
I own a copy of this timeless tome, <br />
but I wanted to do it this way, so I<br />
opened it, and you know the intimidation <br />
of a book designed with two columns<br />
on a page, like <em>The Complete and Unabridged</em><br />
<em>Works of Flavius Josephus</em>!<br />
Yes, I opened it to the middle part of the <br />
book and, low and behold, a mistake on <br />
that very page. I looked no further. I was<br />
convinced. So if you go searching my <br />
book for a mistake, please don't tell me.<br />
Just know I really did spend endless hours <br />
searching for it. Believe me, we found plenty <br />
as we edited, my husband and I. But in my final, <br />
I could not find the mistake I know is out there.<br />
Is it too good to be true?<br />
Probably. <br />
But one thing good and true about <em>Rachel, After the Darkness</em>,<br />
is my endorsement by Andrew M. Domarasky, Colonel,<br />
United States Marine Corps (Retired). Colonel Andy<br />
is amazing. We relived the War from a strategic<br />
standpoint as I wrote <em>Rachel</em>. Though he is Yankee<br />
out-and-out, I did make him an honorary Southerner <br />
when he went online and purchased the beautiful emblem <br />
of the Confederacy paperweight. Our common bond on that <br />
is George Washington wearing his tri-cornered hat and <br />
riding high-booted in the saddle.<br />
<br />
<br />
When the "Café Eclectic" friends meet together for coffee<br />
several times a week, I always look for his smile, <br />
his voice and a hug. He is a real friend. And he is one among<br />
many of the "few good men." <br />
Semper Fi, dear friend.<br />
And thank you for the endorsement!<br />

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto;">
I'm at the finish line with <em>Rachel, After the Darkness</em>. It is all with the publisher, and I am now at their mercy for a beautiful book block and cover. I can hardly wait. It's always fun to watch this part of the process unfold and to see the splendid handiwork of the design team. I do love my publisher!</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto;">
Here's a little excerpt from the story. </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto;">
I hope it will make you thirst for more!</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Pristina; font-size: 20pt;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 20pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Pristina; font-size: 20pt;">By Far the Greatest</span></b></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
Rachel glanced toward the door
where she had left the dress on the wood hanger her mother had packed in the
side of the big box. She knew I would have no way of hanging it, thought
Rachel. Madeleine Beauregard <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">does</i>
think of everything. Rachel touched it again, lost in the feel of luxurious
fabric, the fragrance of store-bought finery. Her head was spinning from the
sudden eruption of a thousand possibilities.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
In an anxious
moment, she removed the skirt from the hanger and slipped it to her slender
waist, then the jacket, fastening the long row of covered buttons. A perfect
fit. She pulled the boots on, fastened the buttons, and tied the leather
strings at the tops. Holding the valise, she backed away from the mirror on the
vanity so she could see. Her heart pounded. She pulled her hair up and put a
few pins in to hold it, lifted one of the hats from the box and tilted it to
the side a bit. A few curls fell around her face. Oh! Glorious!</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Rachel loved fine things. Madeleine—it’s the Madeleine Beauregard in me, she
decided. She quickly took it all off, returning the dress to the hanger,
packing the boots away, and placing the hat in the box with the others. She
pulled the pins from her hair and let it fall.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
To distract
herself from those finer things, Rachel opened her wood box and once again, like
a schoolgirl, breathed in the fragrance of pencil lead and tablet paper, the
most pleasing fragrance of all. Not exotic by any means, but Samuel had touched
her heart with his gift, thinking only of her.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-color: currentColor currentColor windowtext; border-image: none; border-style: none none solid; border-width: medium medium 1.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-element: para-border-div; padding: 0in 0in 1pt; text-align: left;">

</div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
It seems like yesterday I was publishing JOAB and thinking
about my trip “up to the South” for some book signings, and here it is—time to
do it again.These events, special times when friends and family meet up to help celebrate yet
another title, bring me much joy. I could never thank my Readers enough for their participation and all the tremendous support.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope by now you have read The Faithful Sons Trilogy: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Mississippi Boys</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Isaac’s House</i>, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">JOAB</i>, for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rachel</i> comes
along behind those to continue the saga of the Payne family who endured the
War, struggled with Reconstruction, and weathered the hideous aftermath. You’re
going to love the way Rachel stars in this one and you will find out just how
those “fine things” from Madeleine Beauregard played a vital part in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rachel</i> “coming out to a wondrous
conclusion” to quote my friend, Karen Armstrong Corbitt!<br />
<br />
<br />
Stay with me for the announcement of publication.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
Best to you all, my dear Readers!</div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-hyphenate: auto; text-align: left;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">At times it takes me </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">far above the earth </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">to another world. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">My husband tells me </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I go there when I'm writing—</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">to that other planet, </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">sometimes making it impossible </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">to communicate properly to earth. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">But he protects those times for me, </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">insisting that I go—go to that place </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">where no one follows. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It is in those times </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">that I am able to do what I do.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><strong><em>The Contrast</em>.</strong></span><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit;">I had no idea the dramatic separateness, the acute closeness, if that makes sense. It will when you read my story. Like when Solomon of old visited Queen Esther and learned "the half has never been told" —as I research what took place on the continent of North America in the strangest of times, I have found that same statement to be true on a different level. "The half has not been told." At least not unless you go searching for it. Oh, it's out there, mostly in the archives of the northern newspapers. God love those editors and journalists and proprietors who dared tell the real story at the risk of being arrested or imprisoned without the right of a trial (<em>habeas corpus</em>). It has given me hope to know that much of the North pitied the South, loathed the way we were treated during the most hideous of wars, and tried, some to their own peril to tell the story. And I had no idea how grossly they were affected by Radical decisions that disturbed their lives, their thoughts, their days. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: inherit;"><strong>RACHEL, After the Darkness</strong> will be my best work, if I do say so. Maybe my last work. I keep saying that, for time is no longer on my side. Longevity has met me head on. But . . . perhaps I will be like most other writers, hesitant to lay down the pen and tablet. I've become inordinately attached to "my people" and to say good-bye to them would change my life. I don't know if I'm willing to make that change. I'm fiercely proud of my ancestors. Proud of them on a level they would not have understood during those most trying years. I have to remind myself every day that they were fighting for one reason—to defend. I'm proud of them for far more reasons than that, though it was a noble cause. I hope when you read <strong>RACHEL After the Darkness</strong>, you will understand.</span><br />

From what she <em>wanted</em> to do. Traipsing across the creaky old wood floor of the kitchen, she inspected a detailed job of cleaning that had added to the delay. Then with courage intact, she took her pastry to the window seat, slipped her shoes off, and sat in her favorite place with stocking'd feet propped on the cushions. No longer stalling, she sucked in a deep breath and exhaled, ready to begin a long journey of some sort. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rachel Payne was not sure where this exercise was going to lead, but she would read first and write after she had absorbed. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It was cold outside, the sun cheerfully cutting rays across the frosty window where she sat. Rachel breathed a prayer of thanks for the beauty of the day, for God's provision, and now for Sam's delight in getting to attend Sarepta School. Thomas would be proud of his youngest, the last son left at home. Rachel was now able to think about her husband without shedding tears. It felt good; it did not mean she loved him one whit less or that she did not miss his presence even more, but time had swept her beyond unbearable grief and heartache, leaving her with the same indefinable love and devotion for Thomas. It was liberating and she had no guilt. Thomas would approve of that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">An hour later, realizing the magnitude of her project, Rachel moved out of the window seat to the mahogany table in the great room of the old farmhouse. It was a beautiful piece of furniture her mother had given her and Thomas years ago. As she folded the old and fragile lace cloth and laid it aside, she declared this place to be her office.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">By middle of the afternoon, Rachel leaned back in her chair, laid the copy of <em>The Lexington Gazette</em> across her breast, and sighed. These years since the war, she had only scratched the surface of information. Until now, she had no idea the extent of what had been written. With a freshly sharpened pencil and a tablet from her Christmas box, she, in a manner of speaking, broke the silence that permeated the old farmhouse, silence that hung as thick and low as fog over the bloody pond of Shiloh, for she was alone for the first time in many years. Her thoughts tumbled in freefall </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">and she began to write words in response to what she was reading about the ugliness of human experience, the darkest days in the history of the South, reveling in the sound of the pencil swishing across the pages of her tablet. Rachel was about to become an active participant in exposing the vileness of an era that had produced more corruption than she cared to admit as a human being, a reality she was seeing for the first time as morally repulsive. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">She read the words on her tablet. They were not hers, but there would be plenty of time for her own commentary. "Now is the critical time. The rebellion has not ceased; it has only changed its weapons. Once it fought; now it intrigues. Once it followed Lee in arms; now it follows Johnson in guile and chicanery." Wendell Phillips, Orator, Abolitionist, Attorney.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. . . The last thing Rachel wanted was to become incensed. She was trying to be unbiased, but, in this moment, her thoughts were to protect the memory of General Robert E. Lee. She felt it strange and almost irreverent to be reading this long string of harassing questions directed at probably the most noble and gracious man alive during the war years, for he had died just last year, his death having seriously affected her and her boys. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It was Lee's answers at the Congressional Hearing on Reconstruction that had triggered Wendell Phillips' gratuitous remarks. As Rachel read the transcript of the hearing, she became aware of true nobility, and it was not the three Senators who questioned him like he was a common criminal. They—Senators Howard of Michigan, Conkling of New York, and Blow of Missouri—had tried their hardest to trick Lee with his own words, but he would not yield. He walked away with his integrity intact, though drained of all hope that the Radicals would ever understand the South. As far as Rachel was concerned, Lee was still—and more so than ever—the real hero.</span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Joab went live at the Publisher...</span></strong><br />
<br />
just a few weeks ago—February, 2013. Yesterday, March 16, marked the first of nine signings scheduled for the next <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
few weeks. My friends met me at Panera Bread in Trinity, Florida, </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
where we stayed together for hours, signing, drinking coffee and tea, even eating some good food before the day was over. I knew what to expect, because my "Café Eclectic Friends" are faithful, always there for me. Every one of them came except one and, yes, he called in! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks, guys, for being there, for buying my books, and for cheering me on.</div>
<br />
Two of the books have taken to the ocean today and are heading for the Caribbean. A couple will end up in Canada at some point; one will arrive in Maine; one has already gone to North Carolina, and the rest will remain in Florida for the time being! Mind you, these are Yankees reading my Southern stories! <br />
<br />
You are invited to any and all of these events, or just pick one nearest you. I'll have loads of all four books with me, but if you have already gotten yours, just bring it and I'll sign. See you soon!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">we are brought to remembrance </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">of what our forebears endured </span><span style="font-size: large;">in </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the fight for Southern Independence. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've read a lot of history about the </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">four years that spanned the War </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and about Reconstruction and the </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">miserable years that followed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And if I had not been blessed </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">with access to letters from my </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">great-great grandfather, T.G. Clark,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to his wife—</span><span style="font-size: large;">my great-great grandmother, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Marjory Brown Rodgers Clark </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(Rachel in my stories)</span><span style="font-size: large;">—</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and their two sons,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jonathan and Albert Henry,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">written during the winter of </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1861-62 and the first half of 63, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I might have been sceptical. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But they had no reason to glaze </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">over the facts while they sat on </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">some camp stool beside a blazing fire </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">in the mountains of Kentucky, </span><span style="font-size: large;">feet </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">propped upon partially </span><span style="font-size: large;">burned logs </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">for a measure of warmth </span><span style="font-size: large;">on a night </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">so cold it was </span><span style="font-size: large;">impossible </span><span style="font-size: large;">to stay warm </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">any other way. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From that </span><span style="font-size: large;">training camp near Paducah, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">they started their long trek </span><span style="font-size: large;">through </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the snow and freezing rain </span><span style="font-size: large;">towards </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the Potomac River and death. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Death on the scorching hot hills of </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gettysburg on July 1 and 3, 1863. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They laid down their pens on </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">June 16, 1863, at </span><span style="font-size: large;">Fredericksburg, Virginia, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">just two short weeks before </span><span style="font-size: large;">Gettysburg, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">never to write again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Their cry was "States Rights"! and there was not one mention of slavery in those letters. These men were fighting to save their homes, their land, their crops, their livestock, and most of all—their wives and children. I started writing THE MISSISSIPPI BOYS before I read those letters. In fact, before I knew the letters existed. Now I have my own copy, all hard-bound, each letter typed so they are easy to read, and I have been to the Archives at the Library at Ole Miss where the originals are safely laid away in folders and kept behind locked doors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As I wrote JOAB, the last of <em>The Faithful Sons Trilogy</em>, I thought of how it might have been, not only for my family, but for others who bore the same burden of loss. Chapter 16 is called "The Letter" and was written by my fictional character, Trey Alexander Raines, who fought and was killed with Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville. If you read my story, you may want to take up the box of tissues as this young soldier's father reads his last letter, as he tells of his love for General Stonewall Jackson, surely typical of how it was for those who fought alongside that old warrior who, at certain times would raise his hand, halt his fighting men, and fall to his knees on the ground, crying out to our Creator God. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, it brings tears to the eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you love the book for all the reasons I wrote it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Click here and you can get it at Barnes&Noble.com at a discounted price for a limited time. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/joab-jane-bennett-gaddy/1114519688?ean=978147597304"><span style="font-size: x-large;">JOAB</span></a><br />

I'm always left with this numb feeling<br />
when I hear those words.<br />
Now what?<br />
Well, first I have to wait<br />
until I receive my author copies<br />
so I can read the "book" for the<br />
first time. It's always so much<br />
more enjoyable to read a book<br />
than to scroll through a<br />
manuscript. Then I can let<br />
everyone know that JOAB<br />
is available at the publisher<br />
and just about any on<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";">-</span>line<br />
bookstore worldwide.<br />
I should receive my author<br />
copies in about a week.<br />
Then I'll let everyone know.<br />
<br />
I am thankful, excited about the future<br />
and what will become of JOAB<br />
and the other books in The Trilogy.<br />
I love my "real" family, and this experience<br />
with my fictional family since 2005<br />
has been incredible. They will always<br />
be with me. I hope I have brought honor<br />
to the "Clark" legend. My forebears<br />
died for <i>The Cause</i>, for the Confederacy,<br />
their country, my country—<i>The Old South</i>.<br />
I will always be grateful for my heritage,<br />
for those who went before me in such an<br />
extraordinary way.<br />

The chimney is part of the ruins of the old home place of my great-grandfather, Samuel McNeese Clark (Samuel Payne in my stories). I have been blessed to roam the hills of Calhoun County in search of memories. This was one of the best. Jane B.

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">By the
time Joab reached the train station in Washington, D.C., he was as tired as he’d
ever been. He had slept little, had eaten even less, and riding in slatted
cattle cars for hundreds of miles in below freezing temperatures, he had near
frozen to death. And what was more troubling, he had it to do over again back
to Memphis. There was one thing for sure, he must use a few of those dollars he
earned at Manassas Junction for food. Where, he had no idea.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He
cleaned the car and shuffled some hay about, jumped Star to the ground and rode
to the station. A light snow covered the dirt packed roads of the Nation’s Capitol,
and the trees were bare except for the myriad evergreens. It was early morning
and the lamplights were still flickering. He crossed the bridge over the
Potomac River and searched the horizon for the dome of the Capitol.
Breathtaking. And there was no scaffolding to the top. Joab guessed they had
completed the work that was suspended during the war. For that matter, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">everything</i> had been suspended during the
war. He rode toward the building that was much farther away than he thought. He
wanted to see what it looked like on the inside. He could not imagine. He remembered
how beautiful he thought the Lyceum to be, and it was. But this beggared all
description. The closer he got, the more enormous the building.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He
rode Star as far as he dared and tied her to a hitching post, secured his rifle
with the blanket, and hoped his horse would be there when he returned. He
wasn’t too worried. Star would resist anyone she didn’t know. It was the chance
of a lifetime, and he may never pass this way again. He took the steps to the
top, more steps than he had seen or likely would ever see on a single building.
Joab entered the grand Rotunda and stood with his eyes passing over a thousand
moments of beauty. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His
footfalls echoed through the National Statuary Hall, the meeting place of the
House of Representatives until 1857. He marveled at the whispering gallery,
which he would like to have tried for himself. He would take John Quincy Adams’
word for it. It was an amazing building. He paced the hall where the founding

wanting to leave, Joab mounted Star and, gaining confidence that this was his Country,
his Nation, he reluctantly rode toward the White House. He was not dressed
properly to enter. He knew that, but he could circle the residence of President
Ulysses S. Grant. His insides churned with thoughts of the past. He had nothing
but contempt for Grant and Sherman. The war was over. Grant was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">his</i> president. “Forgetting those things which
are behind …” Why was healing practically impossible?</span><br />

<br />
Third in <i>The Faithful Sons Trilogy</i>,<br />
this novel of the Old South<br />
will take you back to a time<br />
when emotions changed almost as<br />
quickly as a mockingbird flits from<br />
tree to tree. I hope I have captured some<br />
of those emotions and that you will<br />
open the pages with great expectations.<br />
Whether you're from the North or South,<br />
your heart will be warmed by memories <br />
passed down from generation to generation.<br />
Memories of a time when our country was at war<br />
with itself and of the years that followed as the South<br />
picked up the broken pieces and started all over again.<br />
<b><br /></b><b>``````````````````````````````````````````````````````</b><br />
Rachel and Joab sat on the front porch swing that day, reminiscing about the war years, thinking about how the South had taken a beating, but more importantly, how they had lost the dearest on earth, thankful that grace was extended and that they had made it through five years past the war, even to 1870 when Mississippi was readmitted to the Union. That day on the porch swing sparked the beginning of a journey that would lead Joab in ways past understanding. In just a few weeks, you will be able to take that journey with him.<br />
<br />
I hope you love it!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";">Joab was not sure his mother would tolerate anger directed toward a living human being, especially now that the war had been over for five years. Rachel was scarcely flexible when it came to character and conduct. Joab was taken by the way his mother responded to him. She had always known what to say, but this time, and for the first time ever as far as he knew, there was resentment and anger when she spoke, raising her soft southern voice to a pitch he had not heard before. Furthermore, she spoke into the wind as if Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman were standing on the porch in full uniform with his hand tucked inside his jacket like Napoleon Bonaparte, his medallions glowing in the last vestiges of the setting sun, his hideous cigar chewed up and arrogantly stamped out upon the steps of her front porch<span style="font-size: large;">. </span></span></i></span><br />

I met Jack Lamar Mayfield last year in Oxford, Mississippi. My friend from high school days, Emmie Lou Mooney Greene, a prominent Oxonian herself, introduced me to him and we spent several hours getting a grand tour from an historical perspective. I fell in love with the beautiful university town situated in the rolling hill country of northeast Mississippi. Of course, I had been to Oxford many times, but never having known such things as Jack Mayfield shared that day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Jackie, as known by his friends, is a fifth generation Oxonian. His family came to Oxford shortly after the Chickasaw Cession of 1832. He is a former history instructor and writes a weekly column for the local newspaper <i>The Oxford Eagle</i>. His column is entitled <a href="http://oxfordeagle.com/writer/jack-lamar-mayfield/page/12/">"Sense of Place" </a>and is solely about the history of Oxford and Ole Miss. He is the author of a book in the "Images of America" series entitled <a href="http://www.arcadiapublishing.com/9780738566146/Oxford-and-Ole-Miss"><i>Oxford and Ole Miss</i></a> published in 1997 for the Oxford Lafayette County Heritage Foundation of which he is a board member. The Foundation is responsible for restoring the post-Civil War home of famed Mississippi statesman, L.Q.C. Lamar, who, from reading my books, you know is one of my Confederate heroes. The foundation's current project is the restoration of the first African-American Church founded and constructed in 1869 on the edge of the area known as <i>Freedmen's Town</i>.<br />
<br />
Thank you, Jackie, for reading the manuscript and for your much-sought-after approval of the way I depicted your town, Oxford. Thanks for the suggestions you made, the corrections where I missed it, and for your encouragement to write yet another sequel of the Old South. Thank you for sharing that wealth of knowledge about the history of Oxford and Ole Miss and the gently rolling countryside of Northeast Mississippi. But most of all, thank you for your grand endorsement of JOAB! I am honored.<br />

JOAB is set in Oxford in 1870, still in ruins from the Union burning in 1864 and with little heart for Reconstruction as the Radical Republicans would have it. Twenty-year-old Joab rides through on his way to Brice's Crossroads and Corinth and Shiloh to see where Mississippians fought some cruel battles with the North, and as a result, he is never the same. Just one of many southerners who gave heart and hope to a fallen and crushed people, Joab takes up the pick and shovel and, with passion and pride, begins to help bring back the lovely antebellum town of Oxford.</div>
<br />
JOAB is fiction based on the history of my forebears who died at Gettysburg. Live the passion and perseverance of a young man as his dreams play out. Laugh and cry with him as he falls in love with a young southern beauty only to find that . . . well, there is someone else in her life. A Shiloh battle hero. But that's not all . . . and I'll not give away any more secrets of JOAB—<br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">rushed him by surprise. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">He had not told Rachel </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">exactly when he would return. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">But she knew it would be before </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Thanksgiving. He was certain </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Jonathan had taken
care of </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">the turkey and that Isaac and Jennie </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">would help with the vegetables </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">and
Rachel … well Rachel </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">would have everything under control.</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">He
had left Aggie behind, a hard thing … possibly the hardest thing he had done,
that is, since the war and all the death in his own family. Life, fragile at
its best, had dealt Joab a few losses. He hoped Aggie would not be included. He
could not bear to lose her, to death or for any other reason. He had
experienced a fair measure of the brittle thread over the past few months. He
thought—life is as fragile as Aggie. But she is beautiful, delicate, like a
piece of lace or a crystal prism through which I see life as carefree and
lighthearted. I wish for her this moment.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">He
struck his mare for a gallop to the house in the valley. The old place looked
lonesome and rundown in the dusk of an early evening, almost as if no one lived there. It was late fall, though,
and all the leaves were on the ground. The trees were stark and bare. The
flowers were gone. Maybe that was the reason it looked … desolate. He choked
back his emotions, hoping to greet his mother and Samuel with smiles instead of
tears when Samuel cleared the porch steps and ran up the dirt road toward his
brother. Joab dismounted and held his arms open. Samuel leaped into them.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“Whoa,
little brother, you have grown a foot since I left.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Sam
grinned but couldn’t say a word. His blue eyes glistened as he swallowed hard
and fought tears. He cleared his throat and said, “We didn’t know when you were
coming back, but Mama has been planning every day, knowing she would soon get
it right.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“I’ve
been counting the days, myself, Sam. I’ve missed you and Mama, wishing every
day you could have been with me. It will take a while, but I’ll tell you all
about it.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Joab
would tell only the lovely parts, leaving out the darkness and death. Samuel
and his mother had experienced enough of that, as had he. His mother, Rachel, could take it;
however, Sam was too young. He would not lay that upon him.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Joab
looked up toward the house and there stood Rachel on the porch, smiling. She
was beautiful as ever, her long dark curly hair with very few strands of gray touching
her shoulders, pulled back by her ribbon of red. She looked thinner, so much
thinner. He mounted, gave Samuel a hand, pulled him up onto Star, and rode to
the porch. He jumped off and gathered Rachel into his arms and swung her around
as he had done for as long as he could remember then put her down. She held his
face and then buried her own into his chest.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Holly Springs is a beautiful little <span style="font-size: small;">town</span> South of Memphis where Grant winter quartered in November and December of 1862. He brought his lovely wife, Julia, and his son those weeks he spent in North Mississippi, though they did not stay in the same house. Grant had work to do, but he missed them and took some risks with their safety to have them near him, in fact just a few <span style="font-size: small;">houses down from him <span style="font-size: small;">on Salem Street</span></span>. His love of family brought out the human side of a man who, from a military perspective, was ruthless and heartless.</span><br />
<br />
JOAB features the Union General that was most hated by the South, probably as much as the North hated our Robert E. Lee. But that was the hard cold facts of War. Those who gave the orders to kill and destroy were the recipients of the height of hatred, and that was true for both sides. One thing was certain, Grant always picked the loveliest of the South's antebellum homes as his headquarters. In Holly Springs, Oxford, Vicksburg, Natchez—it was only the best for him. No wonder our people needed a two-fold healing after <span style="font-size: small;">the surrender at Ap<span style="font-size: small;">pomattox</span></span>. The War had taken the dearest on earth, their human treasure, and as if that were not enough, the hatred the South dispensed upon the warlords, who came through, took over, and ripped the Old South to shreds<span style="font-size: small;">—</span>had to be dealt with.<br />
<br />
JOAB is a story of that healing, for it was truly that—a course of action that did not come quickly. It took years and the shedding of many tears and the relinquishing of old pent-up remembrances to come to . . . <i>the place of healing</i>.<br />

This wonderful old town is worth a drive to visit. The magnolias and catalpas and ginkgo trees whisper ghost stories of 1862 when the Union came in the person of General Ulysses S. Grant, and when Confederate General Van Dorn's men thundered through town and raided Grant's stockpile of ammunition then stormed Walter Place looking for Julia Grant and her baggage. Mary Govan, whose house had been seized by the Union for use as a military hospital, was staying at Walter Place, the owners being gone for the duration of the War. When the Confederates came, she told them Mrs. Grant was gone and that a southern gentleman surely would not invade a lady's bedroom to make a search. They left. Grant ordered that Holly Springs be spared the torches of War because of Mrs. Govan's actions that day.<br />
