Page from a Tennessee journal a novel

"It is 1913, shortly before the start of the First World War, and Annalaura is alone again. Her gambling, womanizing husband has left the plot they sharecrop in rural Tennessee, why or for how long she does not know. Without food or money and with her future tied to the fate of the season's tobacco crop, Annalaura struggles to raise her four children. When help comes in the form of an amorous landowner, who is she to turn it, and him, away?"
"Rural Tennessee of 1913 remains an unforgiving place for two couples: one black, the other white, who stumble against the rigid boundaries separating their worlds. When white farmer Alexander McNaughton falters into forbidden love with Annalaura Welles, he discovers that he has much more to fear than the wrath of her returning gun-toting husband."
