It is also the story of the post-Reconstruction South, struggling to regain an equal and honorable place in the Republic. Like the South, Jess had been dispossessed. She too had to win her rightful place. For Jess was an illegitimate child, left in Mitty's care, but belonging to no one, unwanted. And if she dreamed sometimes of a man with dark and radiant eyes or of a room with a ruby carpet, still it was only a dream and went unanswered----Through the years, as she grows from childhood to womanhood, THE SOUTHERNERS follows Jess, and a host of colorful people play a part in shaping her life: There is Mitty who lavishes love and affection On the lonely child; Dolph Queen who tries to comfort her after she is forced by malicious gossip to leave Mitty; the young lawyer, Andrew Hardee, who becomes her steadfast friend; gay, flashing Laura Lee Carr and her vindictive father, Algernon Carr, whose enmity Jess gains.----As Jess's story unfolds, We see her in Mrs. Plummer's Seminary for Young Ladies where she develops in character and beauty; at the bedside of old Mathias Purefoy where she hopes to unravel some of the mystery that shadows her life; in the home of statuesque, striking Camilla Carrebee where she meets and falls in love with Miss Camilla's son, Wes.-----It is after their marriage that Jess finds herself in real connict with Atlanta society, and involved in a struggle for control of the Carrebee cotton mill that carries her closer to the secret of her birth.----Long and continually exciting, THE SOUTHERNERS is Edna Lee's most impressive novel to date. Covering the period in time that stretches from the early 1900's to "Vorld War I, it ranges from the bright glitter of Atlanta Society to the grime of the mills, from the quiet of the peaceful countryside to the violent cries of Atlanta race rioters. It is a story rich in style, history, romance and people."-----.
