Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Leaving Ireland during the potato famine, Reason Marlow brings his family to America, where he ekes out a life as a farmer in Madison County, Florida. When yellow fever takes his wife and seven of his daughters, his remaining three daughters, Martha, Eliza, and Ellen, and his son, James, are left to carry on the family's heritage. Martha, Eliza, and Ellen manage the family while James and Reason continue farming. Eventually, they bury their father many years later. But, before his death, they overhear him praying a prayer for forgiveness for something terrible he had done. They are mystified. Reason Marlow had always been an honorable and Godly man. What transgression would force him to his knees in prayer before dying? In The Family, author Willie Cordell has fashioned the saga of her descendents and ultimately herself, her sisters, and her grandchildren. Walk with the author as she shares the real events and real people as they encounter a series of unfolding adventures, struggles, tragedies, and ultimately hope.
