Excerpt from The Night-Hawk: A Romance of the '60s
The shipwreck of a Southern hospital nurse while running the blockade from Halifax was a fact, with the great difference that in real life the heroine was weighed down by a belt of gold, and lost her life.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In the decadent and scandalous era of Napoleon III's Paris, this book delves into the intrigue surrounding a young American woman who becomes entangled in a world of opulence and danger. Born into a Southern dynasty, she weds into Louisiana plantation aristocracy only to find herself trapped by a web of deceit and peril. Navigating the treacherous landscape of a society built upon slavery and racial tension, she uncovers a plot to poison her, forcing her to flee her home under the protection of a enigmatic Englishman. Together, they embark on a perilous journey, pursued by relentless forces that threaten to expose the dark secrets lurking beneath the gilded surface. The author weaves a vivid tapestry of historical detail, capturing the volatile atmosphere of the American Deep South on the eve of civil war. Through the lens of a strong female protagonist, the book explores the suffocating nature of patriarchy, the resilience of the human spirit in adversity, and the destructive power of racial prejudice. Ultimately, it serves as a potent reminder of the enduring legacy of slavery and the ongoing struggle for equality in America.
