Produktbeschreibung
Dade City was named for Maj. Francis L. Dade, who perished in the Dade Battle, which opened the Second Seminole War in 1836. As the county seat, formality intermingles with frontier roots in a revered, historic courthouse, a stately jail, and an array of churches and historic homes. Dade City entices visitors with antique shops, cafes, and historical architecture. Folks are drawn to the hospitality of the Kumquat Festival, the homespun county fair, and agricultural showcases at area ranches. In 1908, O. Henry included Dade City in one of his short stories as a symbol of Americana. Surrounding the historic town are alluring places that tell the stories of Florida: the Withlacoochee State Forest, Lake Jovita, Trilby, Lacoochee, and San Antonio to name a few."
Autorenporträt
Meticulously researched, the novel, Preacher Woman, is based upon a real-life female evangelist named Lydia Josephine Nice. Accessing census, genealogy records, newspapers, and even traveling to locations, the author chronicles the short life of a courageous young woman who lived her convictions at enormous personal cost. To read the book is to appreciate the tribulations of women who stepped outside the rigid norms of the nineteenth century. Although the book is classified historical fiction, it is based upon the life of Lydia and her incredible story!
