Unabridged Audiobook
This is story about the price one pays to the myth of heritage. Taking place in the early 20th C, the main character, Deanna Cook, enters into a loveless marriage to preserve the Southern “house” of her fore-bearers. She bears a son who she slavishly loves and on whom the future of the house rests. But then Deanna falls in love with her son’s best friend and from there the myth of heritage is shattered. At times the emotional drama of Deanna’s love of Gibby, her son’s friend becomes a bit much but the twists and turns keep you interested.
