| Abstract | "An immigrant in the rural south of the late 1800s, beautiful, tenacious Annie Laura Brock fights for her dream: a home in America for herself and her young siblings. She is certain that in America, anything is possible for those who work hard and believe. Despite prejudice and abuse at the hands of rich, powerful townspeople, and the loss of both her parents, Annie Laura perseveres. With the help of her friend, Morris, she carves a farm from the stubborn Florida piney woods. But darkness descends when Morris is forced from the town by his greedy half-siblings. Small-town culture is not kind when Annie Laura--the victim of rape-- brings an illegitimate child into the world, and shunning takes on an entirely new and sinister meaning. Based on a true story"-- Provided by publisher. |
