A Tale of the South
()
About this ebook
Commencing in Boston in the pre- and duration-era of the American Civil War, two white men vie for the love of a woman. The jealous rejected suitor arranges for his victorious rival to be abducted, dipped in a staining solution and sold South as a slave. His trials and struggle to survive make gripping reading, as one follows his life in slavery. The islands of love and humanity encountered in a sea of extreme cruelty, unbelievable suffering and degradation are rendered all the more precious for their rarity.
Adina Alexander
A third-generation South African, I immigrated to Israel aged 18, full of zeal, and married a Holocaust survivor from Germany (born Lutz Schneider). We lived for years on a farm where my husband and I raised our children, goats, and agricultural crops. I started writing my first book six years ago, in between working and babysitting grandchildren. Still working and doing my own housework, I have 6 children, 16 grandchildren and a first great-grandchild. I have has written two more books (unpublished as yet) and am working on the fourth. I love all animals but especially horses and cats. We have a cat, a dog and 30 chickens and live in Herzliya near Tel Aviv, Israel.
