Book Description
A quest for the last ultimatum until death do us part happily ever after. Tee Hart is the lovable savvy southern hero who lives on a plantation in Orange County, Florida. Tee opens his heart to a new life after the death of his first wife until the unthinkable happens. For years, rumors have haunted the small rural town of Orlando. In late 1990, when handsome Tee went missing. The locals immediately suspected his second wife, Irene, the so-called local Orange Queen. But Irene yearns to be loved, and marriage is her key to having it all. Tee was intrigued by Irene’s wild beauty and learned the hard way. Then, he had to choose what generations of Hart’s fought the hardest to keep, their legacy. Plantation Hill is an enchanting world most have not lived in. A heartbreaking southern story and a surprising tale of a potential murder. Ms. Lynaugh reminds us that over time we become our parents. What our parents teach us shapes our world, and we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets kept from one generation to another. An awakening in how decisions, desires, and expectations can alter a family's destiny. Success or failure—life and death—all turn into Nectar, the (second series) of Plantation Hill. Followed by Hart to Hart (third series). Ask yourself the important questions: Are you living a sweet life? Is your legacy in safe hands? If not, you will want to read PLANTATION HILL. + + + “The story of Plantation Hill offers a hefty dose of reality. There’s also a final, damning piece of evidence in the courtroom scene that feels very much like a deus ex machina. A family saga with a worthwhile premise. Ms. Lynaugh has a distinct knack for worldbuilding and setting scenes.” – KIRKUS Reviews "First, I always have trouble expressing my thoughts, either on paper or speaking. This is a magnificent book that will remain with me forever. I've you love reading about the South, this is definitely the book. I love everything about the South and I am from the North, born and raised. This book has so much detail starting from the beautiful cover to the end. The characters are all unforgettable and each with their own story to tell. It's a book you can't put down once you start. Definitely a page turner, and definitely one to recommend to your family and friends. The author goes into detail about the enormous land and pastures and of course the home. Did I say home? Oh no! The exquisite plantation, that's the right word. I fell in love with Plantation Hill and all it contained. This is an exceptional book that I wouldn't be surprised when it becomes a movie! How wonderful would that be? Ah! I would watch it over and over. That's how good this book is, and more!" Anne

She has done in again. Another book on its way to be a movie, we hope. The book is a definite page turner with incredible characters. Some characters are likeable, some are loved, and well, let's just say that you can be the judge. It's an amazing book that has me still thinking about it. I would love to have been a fly in the story. No, not a fly, but, a beautiful butterfly! The scenery is so beautiful and the fruits are the sweetest smelling and tasting. I love the book very much, I can't wait to read the next one. The author s so talented I wish I could have just a spec of her imagination.

Book Description
When wealthy Mississippi cotton planter Isaac Ross died in 1836, his will decreed that his plantation, Prospect Hill, should be liquidated and the proceeds from the sale be used to pay for his slaves' passage to the newly established colony of Liberia in western Africa. Ross's heirs contested the will for more than a decade, prompting a deadly revolt in which a group of slaves burned Ross's mansion to the ground. But the will was ultimately upheld. The slaves then emigrated to their new home, where they battled the local tribes and built vast plantations with Greek Revival-style mansions in a region the Americo-Africans renamed “Mississippi in Africa.” In the late twentieth century, the seeds of resentment sown over a century of cultural conflict between the colonists and tribal people exploded, begetting a civil war that rages in Liberia to this day. Tracking down Prospect Hill's living descendants, deciphering a history ruled by rumor, and delivering the complete chronicle in riveting prose, journalist Alan Huffman has rescued a lost chapter of American history whose aftermath is far from over.

Book Description
Popular references to the Rose Hall Great House in Jamaica often focus on the legend of the “White Witch of Rose Hall.” Over one hundred thousand people visit this plantation every year, many hoping to catch a glimpse of Annie Palmer’s ghost. After experiencing this tour with her daughter in 2013 and leaving Jamaica haunted by the silences of the tour, Celia E. Naylor resolved to write a history of Rose Hall about those people who actually had a right to haunt this place of terror and trauma—the enslaved. Naylor deftly guides us through a strikingly different Rose Hall. She introduces readers to the silences of the archives and unearths the names and experiences of the enslaved at Rose Hall in the decades immediately before the abolition of slavery in Jamaica. She then offers a careful reading of Herbert G. de Lisser’s 1929 novel, The White Witch of Rosehall—which gave rise to the myth of the “White Witch”—and a critical analysis of the current tours at Rose Hall Great House. Naylor’s interdisciplinary examination engages different modes of history making, history telling, and truth telling to excavate the lives of enslaved people, highlighting enslaved women as they navigated the violences of the Jamaican slavocracy and plantationscape. Moving beyond the legend, she examines iterations of the afterlives of slavery in the ongoing construction of slavery museums, memorializations, and movements for Black lives and the enduring case for Black humanity. Alongside her book, she has created a website as another way for readers to explore the truths of Rose Hall: rosehallproject.columbia.edu.
