Belle Weather Joanne Cutting-Gray

At once a captivating love story and humorous expose of human foibles. Belle Weather is a moving tale set amid the beauty and mystery of tidewater Georgia. Three women-a cool English beauty, an adoring ingenue, and a conniving femme fatale-vie for the heart and hand of wealthy landowner, Bennet Landsford. The coveted object is Belle Weather, storied plantation on the Vernon River near Savannah. Secret plots are hatched but go awry when an unexpected event rearranges relations with unforeseen consequences. And when the storm of the century threatens Belle Weather, the maelstrom of competing desires and interests almost, but not quite, turns comedy to disaster and heartbreak. Wickedly plotted and artfully written, Belle Weather is the story of what happens when lust, avarice, and piety intersect.
