Description

Alfred Bishop's land speculation threatens his Southern household until Uncle Abner Daniel arrives with hard-earned wisdom against blind optimism. Harben's family drama of loyalty, pride, and ruin narrowly held off. Spoken as when ambition bets the farm and kin must decide who pays.

Author

William Harben (1858–1919) mapped the emotional weather of rural Georgia — novels of land, loyalty, and the hard bargains of family life in a changing South. He wrote with an insider's affection for mountain and plantation communities, and with a clear eye for rivalry, redemption, and the cost of pride.
