In this powerful crescendo to Eugenia Price's acclaimed Florida
Trilogy, young and headstrong Margaret Seton vows to win the heart of
grieving widower Lewis Fleming.
*
Margaret's Story* tells of the heartwarming relationship between the
bold Margaret and her beloved Lewis, and how it plays out against
dangerous and tumultuous events while spanning almost half a century.
Experiencing Seminole uprisings, Florida's burgeoning statehood, the
Civil War, and the challenges of Reconstruction, Margaret holds her
devoted family together with love, strength, and faith. Even the tragedy
of seeing their beloved plantation on the St. John's River, Hibernia,
destroyed twice, and having sons and husband pitted against each other
in war cannot break Margaret's spirit or shake her faith. Her
unconditional love, unflagging conviction in God, and contagious hope
impact her descendants, a young state, and indeed a nation.
