Stirling Plantation is historical fiction that tells the story of a Virginia plantation through the experiences of multiple generations of two families that lived in the Manor House: The white family that owned the estate and the black slave family that worked as cook, housekeeper and in latter times as steward. The story shows the effect of wars, slave revolts, the abolitionist movement and the women's movement on the plantation. The period covered is from 1625 through the 1960s. Unlike most white slave owners, the Stirling family evolves into a benevolent catalyst in the 20th century for equal treatment of the descendants of its former slaves.
