| Plot |
Set in a South that has weathered the storms of Reconstruction and seen the dawning of a better age, THE LEGACY OF BEULAH LAND brings to a memorable close the saga of a great plantation and its people.
Sarah Troy, matriarch of Beulah Land, has lived to find fulfillment in a second marriage and to see her grandson, Benjamin Davis, forge a new prosperity for the land and the family she dominates.
But a force has risen against their calm - one last threat to be fought with all the resources love and moral right can summon forth. Locked in the struggle for Beulah Land are
- Leon Marsh - Ben Davis' illegitimate son and heir, torn between a father he loves and a mother driven by resentment
- Eugene Betchley - ambitious, brutal, he marries Leon's mother and bends his will toward possessing Beulah Land
- Frankie-Julia Saxon - the beautiful belle who weds three men but not the one she loves, and who holds in her hands the fate of the plantation
- Ben Davis - ill treated by his cold wife, he fights to keep for his only son what he has built from nothing
In THE LEGACY OF BEULAH LAND Lonnie Coleman's gifts as a storyteller are triumphantly realized, in characters and events that speak eloquently to the reader of the power of the human spirit. A native of Georgia, Lonnie Coleman, after traveling and living all over the world, has recently returned to settle in the beautiful old historic section of Savannah.
