Product Description
It's 1837 and David Braddock, a foundling who secretly learns at the age of eight he was adopted by his natural father, is coming to grips with life's realities. Growing up on his father's plantation outside of Memphis, Tennessee, with no knowledge of his mother, it is a time when foundling is a dirty word and when plantation life is synonymous with slavery. He learns early to mask his resentment regarding his birth. All this, while coping with his step-mother's contempt, his half brother's love/hate, and his half sister's affection. His journey to manhood is fraught with the trials of love, intrigue and war. He strives to come to terms with it all as he overcomes the stigma of being a foundling and focuses his sights on a higher standard. Set between 1837 and 1865, "The Mud Daubers" is well researched and comes alive with vivid detail and historical authenticity. Join David as he pursues his ideals, and his love, as he seeks his rightful place in a society that spurned him. A place he so richly deserves...
