Parrish: a Novel

by Mildred Savage

This novel plunges you into a colorful and dramatic world in conflict - a world which knows both the clamoring pressures of modern industry and of the lingering traditions of plantation the world of the great tobacco plantations. The conflict that rages is between the old, established planters who have for generations owned vast acres in a Connecticut valley, and a powerful outsider, Judd Raike, who came from nowhere and began as nothing and whose shrewd, driving skill at acquiring land now poses a threat to them all. The conflict is seen through the eyes of another outsider, Parrish MacLean, who first enters this world in his nineteenth year and who finds himself in the center of the struggle.
