Items related to And the Roses Bloomed Yellow
Liliana Mirabeau, the daughter of a former Louisiana sugar planter, grew up against the backdrop of the Civil War and Reconstruction. At the age of eighteen, she rebelled against the old Creole aristocracy and married Joshua Patterson, a cotton broker from Savannah with humble Scotch-Irish roots. Nearly two years after the wedding, most of her social circle still disapproves of the match—and, although she tries to deny it, so does her reticent older brother, William. But Liliana loves the hardworking, devoted Joshua as much as he loves her, and together they have built a happy home in the Garden District of New Orleans. Everything changes for the young couple on a steamy summer morning in 1880, when Joshua awakens to find Liliana violently ill. When the doctor arrives, the news is grim. Somehow, Liliana has contracted the most fearsome disease in the swampy low country of the South: the yellow fever, also known as Yellow Jack. The sickness will spread through the halls, refusing to stop until it has taken what Liliana and Joshua hold most precious. And in a world of unresolved tension and family secrets, its ruthless rampage will only mark the beginning of a saga that tests the love, loyalty, and faith of every soul it touches.
