Product Description
Product Description
Roger Elwoods triumphant saga of one familys thrilling passage through the turbulent antebellum years on their South Carolina plantation, where gentility and violence live together and bigotry and ignorance walk together hand-in- hand. Only those with the strongest character and firmest beliefs can hold fast to what is right.
Ingram
Caught between the tenets of her Christian faith and the pressures to conform to the world, Charity must choose between tradition and honor, love and loyalty in this novel of love and courage in pre-Civil War America.

4.0 out of 5 stars
ashes of paradise, Dec 14 1999
By ann jones - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ashes of Paradise (Paperback)
Ashes of paradise was one of the most meaningful pieces of fiction literary I have picked up in some time. I found myself so full of love after reading this novel. Quite controversial for the times, or even today's times yet I found myself with a smile on my face with each page, filled with love. The books has not, for whatever reason, been rated and I found it an excellent read and have been ever since watching the book shelves awaiting the second in this supposedly trilogy, very anxiously awaiting I might add. Mr. Elwood put together an excellent literary piece, most excellent, in this book.

Ashes of Paradise, Aug 23 2001
By StephiD - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ashes of Paradise (Paperback)
I just finished reading this book. It addressed several issues that I have faced and also some that needed answers. I expressly liked the way others were won to a deeper experience with the Lord and to having a better attitude about slaves and their fellow man. Love was expressed in the home, while teaching the daughter about the attitudes of the world. There are incidences involving Sojourn Truth and Mr. Abraham Lincoln. It brought out an impressive view of Louisiana and situations found there. It is written just prior to the Civil War. Would love to read a follow-up sequel, but, from the Epilogue at the end I get the feeling that regressing into the past history of "Dixie" was too much and that there might not be one. I would love to have the next book on Charity's life!
