The year is 1930. For the past sixteen years, Annalaura Welles has secreted herself away in a small Illinois own, hiding from the white Tennessee farmer, Alexander McNaughton, who has pledged his love to her. Even in the face of unbending rules of Tennessee Jim Crow, a desperate Alexander still pines for the absent Annalaura and their child, Dolly. Even so, John Welles - the ex-sharecropper husband who deserted Annalaura for a year-long, fortune seeking sojourn in the whorehouses of Nashville - still does not trust the choice his wife made in 1914. Which man does she truly love: John or Alexander? To find his answer, John Welles puts them all at risk. In this second installment of two couples - one black, the other white - who dare to break the rules of 1914 Tennessee, author Francine Thomas Howard continues the saga begun in Page from a Tennessee Journal - the novel U.S.A. Today called, "remarkable... as suspenseful as it is rich in detail." A Waltz in Tennessee has been called a worthy successor to Page from a Tennessee Journal.
