So I picked up the first one, Blackwater, The Flood and I blew through that and I knew immediately that this is something that I was going to want to continue.
The flood (1983)
At the crest of the worst flood in Perdido, Alabama's history, mysterious newcomer Elinor Dammert is rescued from the uppermost floor of an abandoned hotel. The town soon grows to love Elinor in spite of her unspoken past and her eccentric habits, and Oscar Caskey, head of the town's most powerful and influential family, soon takes her for his bride. But Oscar's mother, greedy and controlling Mary-Love Caskey, recognizes in Elinor a will as powerful as her own, and begins to suspect that Elinor's origins are more sinister than anyone can imagine.
I had done part one, the flood and oh, I WAS SO smitten by part one. I couldn't wait to get to part two.
