Waters Plantation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9784824198600)

Albert Waters is a prosperous Texas planter who prides himself on having freed his slaves before the Civil War.

When his son Toby, bound for Harvard Medical College, demands to know if his mother was a slave, Al has to confront a long-buried secret. As Amelia, the woman Al once loved, returns to his life, their reunion is clouded by the rising tensions that threaten to tear their world apart.

While the KKK unleashes a wave of violence and Al is accused of murder, Toby is determined to embrace his heritage. Finding themselves on opposite sides of a country divided, will their love for family be enough to unite them?

The third book in Myra Hargrave McIlvain's series of historical novels, WATERS PLANTATION is a powerful family saga set against the backdrop of Reconstruction-era Texas.
