Download Magnolia Morning AudioBook Free
A magnolia means balance and grace through changing times, and times were certainly changing in Louisiana following the Civil War. Energetic, hard-working Martha Bodine and her mom survive the war, but Captain Bodine does not give back from the Confederate Military when expected, and the women must pay the back taxes or lose the family farm. A neighbor is eager to join his land with the Bodine property by marrying Martha, a solution which does not appeal to the young woman. In a desperate attempt to receive the needed funds, the women rent a room to a controversial North gentleman, but this decision causes a rift between them and their neighborhood friends. Peyton Anderson, a soldier from the same product as Martha's papa, will pay a visit to the farm on his way to join his family in Tx. He identifies their house by his officer's explanation of the large magnolia tree in leading yard. Sympathetic to their dismal circumstances, he offers to help the feisty Martha and her soothing mother. Identified to honor his responsibilities, Peyton concerns that even his best initiatives may well not change the course mapped out for Martha's life or his own.
