About This Book
This is the story of three generations of Woodhulls - and America - from 1860 to 1920. It is the story of a growing country, the exciting new industry of whiskey-making, a changing morality - and men and women faced with their own capacity for strength and weakness.
It is the story of ANSON WOODHULL, determined to succeed despite all odds, and PLATT WOODHULL, destined to fail. It is a story of love - for ARAH, the elegant Bonton Brahmin who became what she had to be, and SOLANGE, who became more than she dreamed she could be. It is a story of children: the daughters LALY and QUINCE, one seeking the attachment of love, one fleeing from it; and the sons, OZZIE, who ran off to find his fortune when all the riches were at home, and CHANCE, the pride of the family...a man who knew when it was time to go home.
Water of Life: An explosive drama of one family and the powerful emotions that tied them together - and tore them apart!
