The Gates Of Trevalyan — Jacquelyn Cook
The Gates of Trevalyan, a meticulously researched novel, brings vivid life to the turbulent 1840's-1870's. In the manner of Eugenia Price, Cook mingles fictional characters Jenny and Charles King on Trevalyan Plantation near picturesque Madison Georgia, with historic figures such as Alexander Stephens, Abraham Lincoln, and Jefferson Davis in Washington. The reader experiences the causes and effects of the Civil War as men and nations joust for power.
In this biographical novel of charismatic statesman Alexander Stephens, he emerges far greater than simply being Vice-President of the Confederacy. His touching love for Elizabeth Craig is told through actual letters found in the Library of Congress. His time in a dungeon trying to tame a mouse breaks the hardest hearts, and he finds faith, honor, and the love for which he has not dared to yearn.
Camilee, the King's daughter finds love on the run with a Confederate spy who showcases the actual exploits of Tennessean Sam Davis.
Joshua Hill, called traitor by Georgians because he is Unionist, begs mercy from Union General W.T. Sherman and saves Madison, which today is an architectural delight for tourists.
Alone, Jenny faces Sherman's Bummers blazing their way into Trevalyan. They cannot defeat her because she has found God is the true source of power.
