Southern Daughter: The Life of Margaret Mitchell
Darden Asbury Pyron

Perennial, 1992

Crowning its glory, David O. Selznick transformed the ...

Rebecca Wells

Perennial, 1997

Great Seller!

+ The secrets of the popular girls

The seller made a mistake by putting "hard cover" for the book I purchased when it was a soft cover book. When I received the book and contacted the seller instead of making me pay for shipping or wait for them to send me an envelope to send it back, they told me to just keep the book and fully ...

The Plantation Mistress14 reviews
Catherine Clinton

Pantheon, 1984

An honest description of the role of plantation mistresses

+ The Revealed Myth of the Plantation Mistress
+ Good Despite the Feminist Harping

I think the negative reviewers who discredit the book for being biased are, in fact, displaying their own prejudices. I have searched through the available literature on this subject, which is incredibly sparse, and this is the first book I have found that even attempted to portray these women's ...

Dell, 1991

This one is a classic!!

+ Prompt - Great Condition
+ classic, but not my favorite

As an avid reader of anything about the Civil War, I am always amazed at how historically inaccurate many books are. This one is the exception. To say that Heather Graham has done her homework would be an understatement. She has a unique talent for blending history, romance, and sexual tension ...
