“From The Far Places” Explores Dramatic South Carolina History

Posted on September 15, 2015 by April Elkins | 0 Comments

South Carolina history and human drama combine in From the Far Places, the new novel by Dorothy K. Morris.

From the wilds of the Occaneechi Warriors' Path in the Carolina Piedmont, a lonely Monastery in far Northumbria, and a mansion in The Strand of London, a middle-aged man seeks his lost youth, a boy and girl help him find it, and a beautiful red stallion brings them all together. The combination of characters form a melting pot of cultures, class, languages, religions and personalities. In the historic South Carolina explored in this riveting novel, some of these differences blended while others created problems that could never be overcome.

From The Far Places is the seventh novel in the Mockingbird Series by Dorothy K. Morris. She was born in Charleston, South Carolina, a city her ancestors helped establish. She grew up struggling with the pain that still lingered from the residue of slavery and the Civil War. Morris enjoys genealogy due to her extensive family history and is a member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Who’s Who in America, and Who’s Who of American Women.

From The Far Places is available in softcover (ISBN 987-1-62137-751-1) and eBook (ISBN 978-1-62137-752-8) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com. This book can also be ordered from most bookstores around the United States and United Kingdom. For more information on the author or the book series, please go to www.dorothykmorrisbooks.com.
