"Eugenia Price has made history come to life through the lives of her characters. She has a rare talent, and we consider her to be one of our country's greatest authors."--former First Lady Rosalynn Carter

"Sure to be treasured by her millions of fans."--Publishers Weekly

"Fans of Price's previous novels will find all the hallmarks of her fiction here: considerable historical research, historical figures walking the streets, and a story imbued with inspirational Christian values. A required purchase wherever Price's novels are popular."--Library Journal

"Price's saving grace, once again, is her thorough historical research and her insistence on blending a strong dose of real grit with the obligatory melodrama."--Kirkus Reviews

Reseña del editor:

A new edition of Eugenia Price's final novel, presented by Turner Publishing

From one of America's best-loved storytellers, The Waiting Time is an ambitious, romantic, historically rich epic, sure to delight new and loyal readers alike.

Spirited Abigail Banes dreams her newly married life coastal Georgia will be lived amid spreading magnolia trees, where lovers walk and whisper along blossom-lined paths. But her dreams are shattered when a fatal accident claims her husband, Eli, leaving her sole proprietor of their rice plantation-and the slaves that work the magnificent land.

Forging a new life for herself, Abby finds a new identity-as a feminist before her time, and abolitionist before there is a way to free slaves. As she struggles with her inheritance, Abby finds herself turning to her new overseer, Thaddeus Greene. And, at a time when love is forbidden to her, Abby realizes Thad is destined to take Eli's place in her heart. Eli could never have known that by hiring Thad he had given a lasting gift to his beloved wife-for from the moment Abby gazes into Thad's penetrating gray eyes, she knows she will never be alone again.

With The Waiting Time, Ms. Price felt she had found the perfect title for her book, as it captures the dual strands of this entrancing story: the wait for the beginning of the Civil War and for the end of the time custom dictates Abby must wait before she and Thad can be together. This compelling novel, which brings a human face to a nation braced for Southern secession, embraces the unrelenting passion that marks an incredible love story.
