Never underestimate the power of a woman Saving Elmhurst is based on a true story that has always captivated the author.

As the Great Depression takes hold of the land, and millions of people lose their homes and businesses, Elmhurst Plantation is in danger of foreclosure. The plantation owner, Mr. Shep, has other interests, and in a twist of fate, his health is failing. To save the farm, the women in the household assume control. Shep's wife, Mrs. Nellie, along with the cook, Quilla, and Quilla's assistant, Easter, take on the task of Saving Elmhurst. Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/GraceEvans
