Synopsis
Winds of the South is a novel set in pre-civil war Georgia. It is the story of Zimri Rhodes, a transplanted Connecticut Yankee who starts a newspaper in a frontier settlement and marries a young Southern girl who is the daughter of a wealthy planter. She brings as part of her dowry four slaves, who Zimri, for financial reasons, sells at auction, and though he stipulates that the family is not to be broken up, a trader re-sells them separately afterwards. Zimri is remorseful, but knows not what to do, thinking that he will never see these slaves again. He tries to forget about it as he returns to his home in Connecticut to visit family and friends. While there, he meets a most extraordinary woman, an actress from New York who is also involved in the abolitionist movement, though to what extent remains a mystery. Shortly after he returns to Georgia, his young wife delivers their second and third children, fraternal twins. Everything seems to have returned to normal, his newspaper is flourishing, and the future seems bright. But one day the actress appears, makes a proposal that transforms both the town and her relationship with Zimri, and nothing is ever again the same., Winds of the South is a novel set in the pre-Civil War South that tells the story of three people caught up in the net of slavery. The protagonist is a newspaper editor in Georgia who leaves his pregnant wife to return to his birthplace in Connecticut to attend a friend's wedding. In New York, he becomes acquainted with a Broadway actress who is an ardent abolitonist. After a brief dalliance with her, he returns to Georgia thinking it was only a single moment of weakness on his part, never to be repeated. His paramour, however, later turns up in Georgia and confronts him with new challenges in both his personal and professional life.
