A wonderful story set on a southern plantation

In Wedding at Wildwood, the setting is the beautiful but neglected Wildwood Plantation in southern Georgia. Isabel Landry and Dillon Murdock both grew up at Wildwood, although in very different environments. Isabel's father farmed the land, working for little pay but allowed to live in a cottage on the plantation free of charge. Dillon's father owned the plantation. Isabel and Dillon had been friends growing up, despite the difference in their status--until Dillon disappeared one day without even saying goodbye. Now, years later, they have both returned to Wildwood for Dillon's brother Eli's wedding. To Isabel, it seems like nothing has really changed. While she is now a respected, well-paid photographer, when she is at Wildwood she still feels second-class. Dillon has his own secrets, and although his feelings for Isabel are re-kindled, these secrets threaten to separate them once again. Will their faith in God and each other be enough to overcome the mistakes of the past? I greatly enjoy Lenora Worth's writing. There is something about the way she draws you into the story that is immediate and compelling. She is a master at descriptive settings--so well done that they are an essential part of the story. Her characters are real with both strengths and weaknesses, and you come to care about them very quickly.
