 About the book: The war is over, but her struggle is just beginning.
Charlotte Fraser returns to her late father's once-flourishing rice plantation on the Waccamaw River, determined to continue growing the special kind of rice known as Carolina Gold. But Fairhaven Plantation is in ruins, the bondsmen are free, and money is scarce.
To make ends meet, Charlotte reluctantly accepts a position as tutor to the young daughters of Nicholas Betancourt, heir to the neighboring Willowood Plantation. Then Nick's quest to prove his ownership of Willowood sends Charlotte on a dangerous journey that reveals an old family mystery---and threatens all that she holds dear.
Inspired by the life of a 19th century woman rice planter, Carolina Gold continues Dorothy Love's winning tradition of weaving together mystery, romance, and rich historical detail, bringing to life the story of one young woman's struggle to restore her ruined world.

My Review: Dorothy Love does an incredible job with transporting the reader back to the post-Civil War time period in her latest novel, "Carolina Gold." Charlotte has returned home to reclaim her home and fulfill a promise to her late father. However, trying to find help, run the plantation and take care of the home are only a few of her worries as Charlotte has not proof that the land is hers. As Charlotte's life intertwines with her new neighbor's Nick, life becomes even more complicated. Charlotte is such a strong main character and I immediately liked her as I started to read, she is determined, loyal and genuine. I really enjoyed how Dorothy brought Charlotte's character to life and also this time period. The rebuilding and hardships in the South during this time period are so well detailed and written that I felt as if I was transported to Charlotte's plantation. I highly recommend this book for historical fiction fans as Dorothy will draw you in with the details of the time period, the characters, the mystery and the romance.
