Love is personal, war is not, especially in North Carolina, 1865-1867, during the reconstruction. With a love they are certain will transcend all else, southern belle Penny Kennedy marries Union Officer and attorney, Ryan Madison, despite the condemnation of those around them. The initial days of wedded bliss end abruptly when Marcus, the man who courted Penny for years in anticipation that she would marry him, is arrested for murder, and Ryan is assigned to prosecute him. As hard as this development is to tolerate for Penny, she will discover worse things await her before Ryan and she can attain the life they desire. Praise, "BJ Vaughn has introduced the human side to often forgotten North Carolina Civil Way History... This is history that has finally been told in a very human and quite enjoyable study... Her passion for detail, historic accuracy and flair for the conflicts of the people involved is captivating." -- David Waller, lecture and historian "As a follow on to Muddy Waters, Turbulent Waters is a wonderfully woven story of life, passion, peril, and overcoming hardship in the reconstruction period in North Carolina. Most intriguing are the carefully woven historically accurate events that impact the lives and decisions of the characters. When you start reading, be prepared to be loath to put Turbulent Waters down. The characters are real and become friends that you don't want to leave at the end. When will the next volume be available? I can't wait to read it!" --Leesa K.C. Payne "I really enjoyed Muddy Waters. Besides the story line of Penny and Ryan and their families, I was really taken in by the descriptions of their living conditions and the thought process that they had to go through to live back then during the war. You did a great job of describing their homes and I could really picture how they looked and what comforts they did (or didn't) have." --Chris Peck
Autorenporträt
Betty J. Vaughn, former department chair and art teacher at Enloe Magnet High School in Raleigh, NC, following years of teaching, launched a career as an author. Previously her books The Man in the Chimney (first published as Muddy Waters) and Turbulent Waters (first published as Blue Waters) won the award for historical fiction from the North Carolina Society of Historians for 2011 and 2012 respectively. She is the 2013 winner for her book Run, Cissy, Run. The fourth book in the series, The Intrepid Miss LaRoque, won in 2015. Yesterday's Magnolia is not part of the historical fiction series. Tiger's Code, a CIA thriller, is the first book in the Quint Cord series. Dragon's Sword is the second in the series. All seven books are published by Total Recall Press. In honoring her books, in a unanimous decision, the judges commented: "It is gratifying to find an astute historian whose skills far exceed that realm; someone who can take facts and weave them together with fiction and end up with a story that actually could have happened...[It is] a wonderful story full of emotion, unexpected twists and turns, close calls and tragic moments...Mrs. Vaughn can consider herself a seasoned novelist...[Her books] are fast paced, action packed, and full of adventure...Her work simply isn't just a flurry of words, dry, and boring...She is a master of literary technique as she weaves her tapestry of words." A prize winning visual artist with paintings in collections worldwide, Mrs. Vaughn designed the magnet art program at Enloe where her students consistently won top honors. The recipient of a three year Federal Grant to the Wake County School System, she led Enloe Enterprises, Inc. in operating an art gallery, a summer arts camp, and an Emmy award winning television production company. As a result of the Enterprises Enloe was selected as one of the ten best art schools in the nation by Business Week Magazine. She wrote and published a monthly newsletter for the Enterprises and is the author of numerous professional articles. She loves to travel and led study tours of Europe for many years. History, art, and books are a lifelong passion. Both as a teacher of advanced placement art history and as a writer, Mrs. Vaughn brings the story of the past alive through the people who lived it. The Quint Cord series focuses on the issues currently facing us as a people and country.
