with the
job of
making
Tara
produce
she had
paid
little
heed to
what was
going on
in the
world
outside.
Now that
she had
Will and
Ashley to
attend to
whatever
business
she might
have in
Jonesboro
and
Fayetteville,
she seldom
left the
plantation.
And even
as she had
listened
with deaf
ears to
her
father’s
war talk
in the
days
before the
war came,
so she had
paid
little
heed to
Will and
Ashley’s
discussions
around the
table
