Time remembered: With sketches from Eastern Carolina and Captiva Island : a memoir
by Elizabeth Braswell Pearsall
Category: Captiva Island (Fla.)

This book chronicles Pearsall's forebears with clarity from post civil-war years and life lived close to the soil, on to modern times. She tells of her widowed grandmother and mother of seven, who carried on the responsibilities of being mistress of the plantation. During the "Captiva years", the author shows her recovery of a deep loss and a sense of renewal found only in the written word.
