Belle Pointe

by Karen Young

Anne Faced with an unexpected loss, Anne returns to the hot and sultry Mississippi Delta, leaving her husband, Buck, to ponder his future — with or without her. Looking for distraction, she immerses herself in the history of Belle Pointe, the plantation house that has been home to generations of Whitakers, including her husband.

Buck A professional athlete, Buck is in an emotional tailspin when his career is jeopardized by scandal. Then his wife adds to his troubles by threatening divorce and fleeing to Mississippi, a place that holds bitter memories for him.

Victoria By marrying into the Whitaker family, Victoria has enjoyed a life of privilege and position as matriarch of Belle Pointe. But now her daughter-in-law Anne has unwittingly uncovered family secrets that Victoria does not want revealed — secrets that will change the course of Whitaker family history...secrets that will change Anne's own life, as well.

En dépit de quelques longueurs, on se laisse prendre par l'histoire de ce couple en difficulté sur fond de plantation sudiste. Agréable lecture.

I loved this book :) it was full of twists & turns,but when Anne had a miscarriage with no recovery involved & immediately taking off on a plane,that part was a little unrealistic to me

[Lisa Savicki]

This book grabs you in with mystery surrounding a 5 generation cotton plantation. Why the son left his "duty" on the plantation to become a major league baseball player. And how that influenced why he now as a husband is leary of becoming a father

Loved this book -- though Anne got a little whiny at times.
