An unforgettable journey into Savannah's antebellum past!

“A stunning tale of life in Georgia in the years leading up
to the Civil War. The fictional characters are as real as the
historical ones.”
—Dr. John Duncan, Professor Emeritus, Armstrong Atlantic
State University

Though Savannah’s beautiful squares and architecture were
already acclaimed in antebellum years, the city also struggled
with dramatic challenges. A third of the population was enslaved.
A steamship explosion killed many of its leading citizens. A local
businessman tried to reopen the slave trade. And events were
leading, inevitably, to civil war.

Into this fascinating locale two young men are thrust: Joseph, a
plantation owner’s son, destined for a life of privilege, and Andrew,
who is enslaved and being trained to manufacture bricks.

But many things in Savannah were not as we might think, and
the two boys become inseparable friends. They grow up to face
the contradictions that surround them: the graciousness and the
violence, the accomplishments and the tragedies. They help build
some of the city’s greatest architecture. They become ensnared in
the illegal slave ship expedition of the Wanderer, which landed 400
Africans on the Georgia coast, tore apart Savannah, and edged the
country closer to war.

Both Joseph and Andrew face life-changing choices, made
more difficult by the sweep of national politics. Can these two
individuals maintain their friendship? And if so, at what price?

JIM JORDAN is a Savannah historian and tour guide. He lives on Callawassie Island, South Carolina with his wife, Kathleen. Savannah Grey is his first novel.
