The Grasmere saga is the love story of an African/Native American woman and a mixed man of Jewish Heritage and their trials and triumphs as they sought to overcome the environment of post reconstruction southern America, and later, the industrialized north. In this book, the sequel to Prepare for Us a Season, the love story of George Washington Cohen and his wife, Theresa, continues as they embark on a new career for George, and a new life for both of them. George was brought in to help grow the thriving farms of John B. Hale, the Peach King. George brought great expertise in getting the best out of peach trees, and Hale recognized the gift and groomed him to move the family business into the rising cigar leaf tobacco business. In time George would develop his own farm, and his genius as a farmer and as a businessman would catapult him into some circles that were not too welcoming. In the background, there is a fascinating review of the industry that drove this critical period of central Connecticut and American history. During this time, the underlying theme of the love between these two takes them through the peaks and valleys as their family grew along with the complexities of their lives. You will laugh and rejoice with them; you will cry and struggle with them; but you will never forget them.
