A Good Year For Roses

A Good Year for Roses brims with intrigue and passion in a magnolia-scented south when Essie Donnelly, a feisty farm girl from Madison County, Florida, begins a search for her dead sister's child. Essie has no idea where to begin her search until she meets Minnie Pryor, a young black woman who swears the picture of Essie's sister Jewell looks just like a girl she saw the previous summer on a plantation in Thomasville, Georgia.In 1957, in a deeply segregated South, the two young women embark on a search across southern Georgia, with nothing but hope to guide them. Essie leaves behind the love of her life, Sam Washington, the 300-acre Donnelly farm and her treasured Madison County, to find the child of her beloved sister.From the quaint, historical town of Boston, Georgia, to the breathtaking plantations of Pebble Hill, Melrose and Sinkola in Georgia's Thomas County, the hunt for a young girl is pursued with a tenacity that can only be driven by Essie's love for her late sister and the child she's never met.
