Publisher's summary

This is a story of a Charleston family and the courage, love, and passion that bind them to each other and their vibrant South Carolina city. Follow this extraordinary family from the final years of the Civil War through Reconstruction to the beginnings of the ragtime era.

At the story's center is Elizabeth Tradd, who as a child witnesses the horror of war, as a young girl learns the worst that men can do, and as a woman discovers the breathtaking passion that comes to but a lucky few.

Best-selling novelist Alexandra Ripley captures an extraordinary family history of courage, commitment, and unassailable love in this unforgettable novel.

Only Three Chapters. DO NOT PURCHASE. Very disappointing.

I've read most of her books, started with Scarlett, and I've loved them all. I was delighted to see there were audiobooks available. so as I read the reviews I thought how short is this...is this an abridged version? however, I was a bit annoyed to have it stopped at chapter 3. i thought it was a mistake. thankfully, I was able to return and get a refund. so disappointed.

Where’s the rest of the book??

Disappointed that it was the only Alexandria Ripley book available, then realized it’s not even the whole book?? What a rip-off.

Abridged

This is one of my favorite books. But this version is abridged. It’s says this nowhere in the description. This book being available is one of the reasons I subscribed to audible. I’m severely disappointed and will cancel my subscription
