Book
A Covenant of Love
First published 1992
On a prosperous Virginia plantation, cousins Clay and Gideon Rocklin compete for Melanie Benton’s affection while sectional conflict grows around them. Her choice deepens a family rivalry just as secession threatens to turn private resentment into political and military division.
The opening novel establishes the Rocklins’ wealth, faith and dependence on a slaveholding society before the war. Its Christian themes of jealousy, repentance and covenant are set against the moral crisis that will fracture the family through the following volumes.
