Publisher Description:
In the years following the Civil War, Mariah Reddick, former slave to Carrie McGavock-the "Widow of the South"-has quietly built a new life for herself as a midwife to the women of Franklin, Tennessee. But when her ambitious, politically-minded grown son, Theopolis, is murdered, Mariah-no stranger to loss-finds her world once more breaking apart. How could this happen? Who wanted him dead.Mariah's journey to uncover the truth leads her to unexpected people-including Robert Cannon, a recent arrival to town, fleeing a difficult past of his own-and forces her to confront the truths of her own past. Brimming with the vivid prose and historical research that has won "master storyteller" (San Francisco Chronicle) Robert Hicks an avid following and critical acclaim, The Orphan Mother is an epic account of one remarkable woman's quest for justice.
