Christophe Poulain du Bignon arrived with his family on Jekyll Island, Georgia, in 1792, seeking to escape the violence of the French Revolution. The three books of the Jekyll Island trilogy follow four generations of the family who live through the rise and fall of their sea island cotton plantation, as they wrestle with the issues of slavery, betrayal, guilt, and war. Despite the turbulence of their lives, they emerge as individuals who seek to love, forgive, and find fulfillment in an uncertain world.

The Boys of Shiloh explores the Civil War through the eyes of two thirteen-year-old boys, who meet for the first time the day before a deadly, two-day battle in Tennessee. In their unexpected encounter, Luke, a Confederate boy from Georgia, and Ethan, a drummer boy from Illinois in the Union Army, find a surprising camaraderie as they discover how much they have in common. Tomorrow, however, the new friends will find themselves adversaries in an epic conflict. Like The Red Badge of Courage, the book explores the fears and anguish of battle and reveals how war can bring out both the best and the worst in human nature.

This text focuses on the Jekyll Island social club's members and the ""cottages"" they built near the clubhouse between 1888 and 1928. It tells the story of each home, the owners' connections with the island, and their interactions with one another.
