Plot Summary of The Emerald Tears of Foxfire Manor
"This story takes place in war ravaged North Carolina in the year 1864. Kathryn McClary got a marriage proposal that she felt she couldn't refuse. She accepted, always knowing that she could never have more than feelings of friendship towards the sweet young man, Robert Kincaid. She vowed to make him happy in exchange for the security he offered her. He took her to his home, Foxfire Manor. There, she met his older brother, the enigmatic Matthew. Despite her devoted feelings for Robert, she couldn't resist his attractive brother. As her feelings for Matthew increased, she became aware that someone in the household wished her harm. But who?"
Laura J. Miller, Resident Scholar
