About this listen

A LOVE LETTER TO THE AMERICAN SOUTH

A STORY OF RESILIENCE, HOPE, AND FAMILY—BOTH LOST AND FOUND

It's 1957, and tobacco is king. Wealthy landowner Gordon Talmadge enjoys the lavish lifestyle he inherited but doesn't like getting his hands dirty; he leaves that to the two sharecroppers—one white, one Black—who farm his tobacco but have bigger dreams for their own children. While Gordon takes no interest in the lives of his tenant farmers, a brutal attack between his son and the sharecropper children sets off a chain of events that leaves no one unscathed. Over the span of a decade, Gordon struggles to hold on to his family's legacy as the old order makes way for a New South.

A sweeping drama that follows three unforgettable families navigating the changing culture of North Carolina at a pivotal moment in history, listeners have been raving that Talmadge Farm is one they cannot put down. Perfect for fans of Wiley Cash and Amor Towles.

Gripping southern character drama

As a baby boomer who spent her later adolescent years in a small town in Tennessee home to several farms like Talmadge Farm and the lines between races were clearly drawn, to say this book resonated is indeed an understatement. Tobacco was the cash crop that could make or break a family's survival. This book certainly captures the essences of the haves and the have nots, the cultured from the cultures, the honest from the pseudo honest, and the desire for always more from the essentials for barely 'gettin' by. The South is rampant tales of extreme wealth, crushing poverty, and the racial divide. This book certainly captures the essence of the South of the '50's. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Daughtry.

The author made me visualize the people and the places so well, I felt as if I was there.
The story was not predictable and was a great read to the end. Very well written and hopefully not the last book from this author.

Top Notch Historical Fiction!
