Work in Progress

I am now working on a sequel to The Truth Keepers. It is tentatively entitled The Memory of Home (though that title may change before publication) and  will bring the reader to an ending of the story of the du Bignon family and its connections to  Jekyll Island. This time the book will focus on the third and fourth generations, their interactions and vicissitudes, and the extraordinary differences in the directions of their lives. The novel will carry their story well beyond the Civil War, and into the New South, to which some members of the family are able to adapt, while others are not. Each of the three books will stand on its own, but read in sequence they will take the reader through a full century of this French immigrant family, compelled to give up a comfortable life in France to escape a Revolution only to encounter another upheaval in the United States that will once again upend their lives.
