When Major Gryffth Hockaday is called to the front lines
of the Civil War, his new bride is left to care for her
husband’s three-hundred-acre farm and infant son. Placidia, a
mere teenager herself living far from her family and completely
unprepared to run a farm or raise a child, must endure the
darkest days of the war on her own. By the time Major Hockaday
returns two years later, Placidia is bound for jail, accused of
having borne a child in his absence and murdering it. What
really transpired in the two years he was away? A love story, a
story of racial divide, and a story of the South as it fell in
the war, The Second Mrs. Hockaday reveals how this
generation—and the next—began to see their world anew.
Characters: 89. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
