FROM BACK COVER: In 1811, moments after a devastating earthquake, French fur-trapper Jacques Ducharme rescues Annie Lark from the ruins of her family home on the shores of the Mississippi While he nurses her back to health, they fall in love Together they build a new home that will come to be known as "Jacques Landing." More than a century later, Hedie Rails arrives at Jacques Landing to marry Clement Ducharme, Jacques' grandson, and discovers a set of old diaries They reveal a disturbing history, not just of Annie but of the other three women who shaped Jacques' life: Omah, the freed slave who joins him as a river raider; his second wife, Laura, who brings tragedy on herself in her quest to win his fortune; and Little Maddie, their daughter Through these intertwined stories, Agee vividly portrays a lineage of love and heartbreak, passion and deceit, against the backdrop of the nineteenth-century South
