A nostalgic story of the Old South with a dual story line -- River Oaks Plantation. I love the way the author crafts her story around two eras: shortly before and after the Civil War then to after Hurricane Katrina. Cammie, the heroine, finds her grandmother's diary of the past and becomes inspired by the recorded events her grandmother penned, almost as if it were meant especially for the moment.  It's when she returns River Oak to claim her inheritance, she comes across this ever important  diary, and thus through this the story is woven with intricacy events filled with tragedy, conflict, faith, blessings, and surprises -- against storms and floods and even war . Robinson does this beautifully, an endeavor that would not be easy for many authors.Robinson's inspirational book will certainly  offer appeal to readers who enjoy books from past eras as well as contemporary subject matter, for this story will give the reader both. As a writer of Civil War stories myself, River Oaks Plantation I found to be a sensitive story about real people of strong character. A great story to delve into. I recommend it highly.~ Author Shirley Kiger Connolly (with thanks for the opportunity to review this book)
