Confederado do Norte Linda Bennett Pennell

October, 1866 Mary Catherine is devastated when her family emigrates from Georgia to Brazil because her father and maternal uncle refuse to accept the terms of Reconstruction following the Confederacy"s defeat. Shortly after arrival in their new country, she is orphaned, leaving her in Uncle Nathan"s care. He hates Mary Catherine, blaming her for his sister"s death. She despises him because she believes Nathan murdered her father. When Mary Catherine discovers Nathan"s plan to be rid of her as well, she flees into the mountain wilderness filled with jaguars and equally dangerous men. Finding refuge among kind peasants, she grows into a beauty, ultimately marrying the scion of a wealthy Portuguese family. Happiness and security seem assured until civil unrest brings armed marauders who have an inexplicable connection to Mary Catherine. Recreating herself has protected Mary Catherine in the past, but this new crisis will demand all of the courage, intelligence, and creativity she possesses simply to survive.
