A Chosen Few

The third in Booth's Between the Rivers trilogy. A Chosen Few continues the saga of the Ryan and McBryde families as they face the Great Depression in rural Bladen County, NC. Maggie Lorena Ryan hasn't lost a bit of her starch, but she makes a wrong turn when she encourages her son Len Ryan to listen up as she reads him the news. Wilmington, NC, entrepreneur Hugh MacRae is building a farm city just over the river in neighboring Pender County. Len perks up at the sound of the utopian resettlement community, but there's more to it. First, he'll have to marry. Is he in love, or is his cousin, Millie McBryde, just a matter of convenience?
