Like Brand New! NO FLAWS! $24.95 Retail. 467 Pages long. BOOK SUMMARY: This book is the Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's GONE WITH THE WIND. Francesca "Chess" Standish is born into the extravagant wealth of antebellum Tidewater Virginia. It is a world of feasting and hunting and dancing, of softly walking slaves who gratify every need. Then the Civil War brings it all to a sudden, violent end. Fifteen years later, Chess Standish is too tall, thin, and poor - and an aging spinster. Young North Carolina farmer Nate Richardson has land, driving ambition, and a secret obsession for a bewitching, devious woman who has become his brother's wife. He arrives at the crumbling Standish plantation determined to obtain the patent for a machine that can deliver his dreams of earning a fortune in the tobacco business. Nate excites and frightens Chess. She senses that he is a man capable of destroying anything who gets in his way. But even so, she wants him. She proposes an unconventional bargain: she'll give Nate Richardson her rights to the machine if he marries her, making her his partner in business, and she hopes, in bed. Waiting for the newly married, gently bred Chess is a different South - the raw, harsh world of tobacco, with it's deals, double-dealing, and cutthroat rivalries. Struggling at her husband's side to survive, Chess realizes that even if she cannot make Nate desire her, she can make him need her, as a business partner. As Nate's rising tobacco empire sweeps Chess to the top of American and British society at the turn of the century, she will begin an odyssey of discovery about her own sexuality. Amid upper-class games of flirtations and liaisons, Chess grows into a confident, powerful woman, facing many challenges, and, for the first time, the opportunity to merge completely, passionately with a lover. The risk is losing her life with Nate for another man, one who knows how to awaken her body and yet may not want her heart...Like Scarlett, Chess is a woman to be reckoned with, a woman to be loved. Like Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind, FROM FIELDS OF GOLD is a tour de force, richly historical, exquisitely written, and a celebration of the best that fiction can be.
