Caroline's Story

Beschreibung

Headless dolls, horse races, and arson-the tools of passion. It's 1899, and Caroline Corbett is ready for the twentieth century. She's excited to find work and meet new people-but gets more than expected when a rough-hewn Lowcountry farmer and a small-town doctor both engage her affections. The broad-shouldered, genial farmer is clear about his desires, and he's there for her. The doctor is sophisticated, educated, and obviously the right choice-but sees no reason to dwell on certain realities. In trying to decide between them, Caroline fails to consider the girl Jessie. A young sociopath bent on her own way, Jessie Bell sees very good reasons to dredge up unpleasant realities-and to create new ones. Before long, this South Carolina landscape is riddled with the detritus of her intense jealousies, which have set astonishing and horrifying events into motion. *IndieBRAG medallion recipient. *Shelf Unbound finalist for 2021 Best Indie Book Award. *Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2021 finalist in the category of Historical Fiction. *American Fiction Awards 2021 finalist in the category of Family Saga. *Shortlisted for the 2021 Goethe Award by Chanticleer International. *Book Excellence Awards 2022 finalist in the Historical category. *National Indie Excellence Awards 16th Annual finalist in the category of Regional Fiction: Southeast. *Historical Fiction Company 2022 HFC 'Highly Recommended' Award. *Literary Titan Gold Book Award, July 2022 *Chanticleer International's 2023 Best Series Award finalist (as part of The Silk Trilogy).

Autor

Sophia Alexander is the mother of two college-age children and a number of manuscripts. Her character-driven historical fiction grips readers' emotions and surprises them with unexpected twists. A full-time author with a passion for genealogy, she resides near the beautiful Southern city of Savannah, Georgia, but studied in the magnificent Pacific Northwest at Bastyr University, where she earned a doctorate in naturopathic medicine-and thus her characters are often found swallowing decoctions or slathering on herbal salves. Her narratives have appeared in local anthologies, and she was awarded first place in the Savannah Authors 2017 Short Story Contest. Her first novel, 'Silk: Caroline's Story', debuted Summer 2021, garnering numerous accolades: the IndieBRAG medallion; a Literary Titan Gold Book Award; finalist awards for the Shelf Unbound 2021 Best Indie Book Awards, the historical fiction category for the Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2021, the family saga category for the American Fiction Awards 2021, the historical category of the Book Excellence Awards, the 'Regional Fiction: Southeast' category in the National Indie Excellence Awards; and it was shortlisted for the Goethe Award 2021 by Chanticleer International.
