Deepwater

An early American family is seen through the eyes of its women, including Tess, who pursues dreams in a new world, Della, who triumphantly emerges from the Revolution, and Seleta, who struggles to save her son during the Civil War

From the first settlement on Roanoke Island and the birth of Virginia Dare through the revolution that created a new nation and the Civil War that tore it apart, Pamela Jekel weaves a vast, colorful tapestry, bursting with the tempestuous beauty of the land, surging with human drama, and people with courageous women and bold men whose joys and sorrows forged the triumphant history that is the glory of the Carolinas.
