Margaret Anne

The Carolinas during and after the Civil War frame the story of Ronan James Cassidy’s MARGARET ANNE, the child of a liaison between a Haitian immigrant and wealthy planter. The girl becomes a symbol of those times, traditions, and transitions, from appearing in a slave auction to trying to rebuild her father’s plantation through marriage. Historical events, like Fort Sumter and the Reconstruction era, act as key milestones for readers to identify with and for the hero to weather.
