Palmetto Pioneers: From Harmony to Hostility

They�ve just achieved statehood. Has the wilderness of this new wife�s childhood been completely tamed, or are there deadly threats on the horizon?

Florida, 1844. Mary Adeline Walker brims with optimism. After three years of marriage, she�s still head-over-heels in love with her refined gentleman of a husband and delights in their blended family of five children. But it�s hard to remain at peace as outlaw gangs constantly crop up and news of war with Mexico brings a spark to her spouse�s eyes.

Relieved as the conflict sweeps by without harming her household, Mary steadfastly keeps the home fires burning as her beloved takes on higher-profile government roles. Yet with their local economy entirely dependent on slavery, the grounded mother knows there�s no escaping hard times when her frontier state threatens to secede.

As her future spins out of control, can she become a peaceful refuge for those she loves?

Inspired by four decades of research experience, Cindy Roe Littlejohn delves into her family tree to offer a deeply personal look at what life was like in Old Florida. And as you're immersed in her creative tapestry of fictional narrative and carefully preserved historical records, you�ll gain a fascinating connection to the settlers who came before us.
