Where the rivers meet

At the dawn of the 20th century, young Eliza Rivers stands before a world changing faster than the river currents in her beloved South Carolina. Refusing to be just a silent heiress to the grand Mayfield estate, she longs for freedom, nature, and a life outside societal rules. But the Great War, family feuds, and relentless elements force her to fight for everything she loves. Eighty years later, Eliza is the last guardian of Mayfield. Hardened by time and loss, she must confront her own son and decide what to sacrifice to save her family and the land that shaped her. Where the Rivers Meet is a touching family saga about a woman who never gave up – a story of the power of nature, love, and resilience in times of change. Mary Alice Monroe delivers the first of two epic and evocative novels celebrating the life of one fearless woman across generations in the American South, featuring beautiful descriptions of the Lowcountry and timeless legacies.
