In the second installment of Southern Paradise, it becomes clear that the author isn't reaching to recreate Mandingo or the Falconhurst series; rather he takes the best moments from the Cotton Kingdom South and integrates both British royalty and Egyptian monarchy attributes to create a dynamic league of characters that belong no where other than the Antebellum South. Unafraid to confront the materialistic pleasures of the Aristocracy of the Old South, the author paints a southern mirage of grandiose plantations with disciplined yet timid Negroes, born to serve and devote their slave-hood to the spoiled and haughty southern belles and impatient cash-abundant beaux that own their very African souls. For those that wish to relive those days when Cotton was King, hoop skirts filled spacious closets, and fans were automated by the motion of black house slaves, this is one rebelicious read!

What a deliciously southern read! In a culture that frowns on the materialistic pleasures of the Antebellum South, I'm thrilled to see someone finally take an interest and resurrect the plantation novel again. In essence of the "Slaveocracy" era of Plantation novels from the late '60s through the early '80s (before every novel became politically correct), Southern Paradise remembers the Moonlight & Magnolia South of 1930s classics like Gone with the Wind yet emphasizes the extreme harsh contrasts between the privileged plantation owners and their menially considered Negro slaves. From corsets to crinolines, to taffeta and ribbons, the author illustrates vivid images in intricate detail of a perfect Southern society gone, but never forgotten. If this read doesn't have you whistling Dixie, nothing will.
