The Handsome Road

New York Times–bestselling author Gwen Bristow brings to life Civil War–era Louisiana in the impassioned, poignant story of a plantation mistress and a poor seamstress—and the men they love—whose lives are irrevocably changed as the Old South falls Corrie May Upjohn stands on the levee, watching men unload the riverboats and wishing she could travel far away. A poor preacher’s daughter, she is only fourteen, and her life is already laid out for her: marriage in a year or two, and then decades of drudgery. At nearby Ardeith Plantation, Ann Sheramy Larne lives in luxury, but feels just as imprisoned as Corrie May. Their lives could not be more different, but when the horrors of war and Reconstruction come to Louisiana, these two women will band together to survive. This is the second novel in Gwen Bristow’s Plantation Trilogy, which also includes Deep Summer and This Side of Glory.
