The Legacy Of Eden, Nelle Davy's acclaimed debut novel, is perfect for fans of The Thorn Birds and Gone With The Wind.
For generations, Aurelia was the crowning glory of three thousand acres of Iowa farmland, a monument to Lavinia Hathaway's dream of elevating her family – no matter what relative or stranger she had to destroy in the process.
Now the last inhabitant of the decaying old home has died, and none of the surviving members of the family want anything to do with the farm. Especially Meredith Pincetti. For 17 years Lavinia's grandchild has tried to forget her family's past. But when she receives a letter, Meredith must confront the legacy that destroyed her family's once-great name.
