Prologue River Oaks Plantation 1856 The minute the horse and buggy drew up in front of it, Margaret Jane Turnrow knew shed found the home of her dreams. In a trance, she sat spellbound and stared. The majestic beauty from the long white-shelled drive, the huge live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, and the white-columned splendor of the large two-story antebellum home made her heart flutter. She fell in love at first sight, and that first view of the large white house sitting behind massive oaks took her breath away. She gasped with sheer delight, clapped her hands, and exclaimed, Oh, its simply beautiful, gorgeous, the prettiest place Ive ever seen in my life. Its heaven, paradise on earth. I cant wait to have lovely gardens like a park. Well import flowers and plants, and Ill model the gardens after the formal ones I saw on our honeymoon in England, France, and Italy. Danny Paul Turnrow, her new husband, grinned. Im glad you like it. Like it, I love it, she gushed like an excited child as she gazed up at her handsome husband. At six-foot-two, even sitting in a buggy, she had to look up to him. He was as tall and elegant as the white-pillared plantation home hed just purchased on the banks of the Mississippi River in Vacherie, Louisiana. His charmed life as a charismatic cotton baron was going to make her the lady of the manor. Ill have the best plantation gardens in the South. He laughed at her. If enthusiasm is what it takes, Im sure you will, my love. He jumped from the buggy, went around to the other side, grabbed his dainty, petite wife around the waist and swung her to the ground, where he wrapped an arm around her shoulders as the two stood and gazed at their new home. With over thirty-five hundred acres of fertile Louisiana soil, Ill be one of the richest men around New Orleans. Cotton and sugarcane are going to make us rich, sweetheart. amazon/River-Oaks-Plantation-B-Robinson-ebook/dp/B00H8XZLCE/ref=la_B007DNJIKU_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387056311&sr=1-
