Southern Cross (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999780428)

In 1866, shortly after the Civil War ended, a group of southerners leave by ship for Brazil from Baltimore, Maryland. Kate Teal, an atypical woman for the time, joins the group to start a new life. John Foster, a conventionalist, scouts the hinterlands of Brazil for a place to establish a farm or lumbering enterprise and a place to settle his family. The story follows Kate and John as a myriad of personalities move through their lives. Descriptions of the countryside and international diversity of people who settled there provide a fascinating account of Brazil during the time. The novel includes romance, adventure and historical accounts of life in the deep south and in Brazil after the Civil War in the US.
