Items related to The Second Favorite Son
When Straughan Packard III dies suddenly, control of the family empire should have been passed to his firstborn son, the princely ‘Junior’, Straughan Packard IV. But given Junior’s mysterious disappearance, the job has fallen to the second son, the free-spirited JD Packard.
This is a world where the South has emerged victorious in the War Between the States, where plantations have evolved into corporate empires, the men who run them hold the reins of almost unlimited power, and history and tradition rule. And as JD Packard learns, once caught in a web of hostile corporate takeovers and forbidden love, it’s not easy changing the world.
For Dexter Peebles, a descendant of former Packard slaves, discovering the truth behind Junior’s disappearance means uncovering a past that is full of ghosts: it seems somebody is killing the Packards off, and has been for a long time.
The Second Favorite Son unfolds two hundred years of the Packard family saga. It is a story of the ties that bind and the kind of love only a truly eccentric family can understand.
