The Golden Hour

Rebekah Hall's childhood in 1830s Mississippi is shattered when her father abandons her and her mother for another woman. The love of a motherly household slave provides Rebekah a ray of hope as she grows up on her grandparents' failing cotton plantation, but the scandal chases her relentlessly. Marriage within her small town seems unlikely, so Rebekah reluctantly chooses to become a teacher. More devastating personal losses and a disappointing first year as a teacher push her to leave Mississippi behind, and she heads to Savannah, Georgia, looking for the adventure of city living. On her journey, she meets Stuart Sullivan, a young man who is to change her life. In Savannah, some surprising revelations force her to confront her deep bitterness and anger. What she discovers about herself and the power of God's love transforms her heart.
