Loved this trilogy about Jekyll Island and the du Bignon family beginning with their life in France leaving the violence of the French Revolution for a new life in Georgia in 1792. Living through slavery and cotton plantations, turbulent lives, love and forgiveness, war and finding joy in the beauty of the island as a park for future generations to enjoy. A beautiful historical fiction filled with many stories of the people who lived the history.
