Where the Rivers Merge

About the book

From the New York Times bestselling author, comes the first of two epic novels that celebrate the life of a courageous woman across generations in the American South.

The Lowcountry of South Carolina stands on the brink of transformation. Mayfield, the majestic estate owned by the Rivers family for generations, is the cherished home of young Eliza. Defying societal expectations, she explores the vast property, watches wildlife, and rides horses. However, Eliza faces unforeseen challenges from the Great War, coastal storms, and family conflicts, propelling her into a clash with the old-fashioned traditions of the past.

Eighty-eight-year-old Eliza is now the matriarch of the Rivers/DeLancey family. She has spent her life fighting to preserve Mayfield and refuses to retire quietly and let her greedy son determine the fate of the estate. Eliza must make tough choices to secure the future of the land and her family, or risk losing everything they hold dear.

Set against the backdrop of the twentieth-century Lowcountry, Where the Rivers Merge is a captivating multigenerational family saga filled with enduring love, hard-earned wisdom, significant sacrifices, and the unwavering determination of a woman who perseveres through change to safeguard her family's heritage and the land she holds dear.
