Legacy Of The Angels

Camellia, a pretty sixteen-year-old house slave of the southern Mississippi plantation known as Magnolia’s Grace, cooks and cleans under the supervision of her mentor, Granny Zela, who has belonged to the family ever since the plantation owner, Major Andrew Holloway, was a pup. Stealing away to the ‘old milk barn’ from time to time, Camellia loves to sing to the animals while dreaming of someday finding her ‘prince’ like the ones portrayed in the fairy tales so often told to her by the Major’s son, Jonathan. Beyond these simple pleasures of singing and listening to stories, however, the young woman’s life reflects little more than a hollow, mundane existence of daily chores and unbridled innocence. That is, until one rainy day in the spring of 1863…the day the union army comes calling... A tale of love, tragedy, and perseverance, Legacy of the Angels will take you on an unexpected journey as this intriguing sidebar to the American Civil War unfolds.
