Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Prodigal Judge
Though he had lived continuously at the Barony for almost a quarter of a century, there was none among his neighbors who could say he had looked on that thin, aquiline face in all that time. Yet they had known much of him, for the gossip of the slaves, who had been his only friends in those years he had chosen to deny himself to other friends, had gone far and wide over the county.
That notable man of business, Jonathan Crenshaw and this superiority was especially evident when the business chanced to be his Own - was closeted in the library with a stranger to whom rumor fixed the name of Bladen, supposing him to be the legal representa tive of certain remote connections of the Old general's.

Excerpt from The Prodigal Judge
The Quintards had not prospered on the barren lands of the pine woods whither they had emigrated to escape the malaria of the low coast, but this no longer mattered, for the last of his name and race, old General Quintard, was dead in the great house his father had built almost a century before and the thin acres of the Barony, where he had made his last stand against age and poverty, were to claim him, now that he had given up the struggle in their midst. The two or three old slaves about the place, stricken with a sense of the futility of the fight their master had made, mourned for him and for themselves, but of his own blood and class none was present.
Shy dwellers from the pine woods, lanky jeans-clad men and sunbonneted women, who were gathering for the burial of the famous man of their neighborhood, grouped themselves about the lawn which had long since sunk to the uses of a pasture lot. Singly or by twos and threes they stole up the steps and across the wide porch to the open door.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book begins in a period of great change, where the tattered remains of the Old South struggle to regain some foothold in a world that has moved on. The novel opens with the death of the last of the Quintard line, the once-proud owners of the sprawling Barony plantation in North Carolina. As the slaves mourn their master, they whisper tales of his mysterious past and the hidden motives that drove him into seclusion. Enter Bob Yancy, a local man carrying a heavy burden of his own secrets, who agrees to look after the plantation and the young orphan boy, Hannibal, left behind by the tragedy. As rumors circulate about the boy's parentage and possible fortune, their quiet existence on Scratch Hill is shattered by the threat of losing the child they have taken as their own. The author deftly explores the struggle between the Old South and the New, as well as issues of love, family, and redemption, through the intricate lives of the novel's characters. Ultimately, this is a story that delves into the complexities and courage of those whose destinies were shaped by a rapidly changing society, painting a vivid portrait of a captivating era in American history.
