description: They were bold willful pioneers planters of the rich Alabama soil from Lucien Bouchard the patriarch who created Windhaven out of the strength of his dreams and the power of his soul to his grandson Mark whose cruel sensuality and fierce ambitions tear at the very roots of the family heritage... And the Bouchard women -- Sybella the spirited wife of Henry Bouchard who has to compete for her husband's love with the ravishing slaves he took to his bed; Lucy whose girlish sparkle turns to full-blown fire when she meets the handsome Luke Bouchard; and Maybelle whose innocence could not exist for long in a land of naked passion and secret lusts. In a tumultuous era -- when privileged and arrogant men submit the young and beautiful to their dark desires and the strong and proud to the sting of the lash -- the Bouchards struggle to preserve their deeply divided family and the legacy of freedom and peace for which they have lived and died -- the magnificent promise of Windhaven.
