Description
He loved her enough to invade another country to find her. Born in a shack on
Natchez-Under-the-Hill, the abode of cutthroats, thieves, brawling river men and
ladies of easy virtue, Ross Pary had but one goal: to reach Natchez-on-the Hill,
where gentlemen planters lived a life of graciousness and ease in porticoed
mansions. In physical distance, there was less than a mile between the two
worlds, but in social distance, the residents of Natchez-on-the-Hill flourished
a half-world away. Yet, there is more to Floodtide than Ross Pary's struggle for
social acceptance through the passions and conflicts of his tangled loves. It is
the story of a chivalrous South overreaching itself for an overseas slave
empire and reaching the floodtide of its fortunes in the lush decade of the
1850s.
