Deep Summer Gwen Bristow Pocket Books 482 Plantation Louisiana. The story of Judith and Philip is one of struggle---the passionate struggle of their stormy marriage, their struggle from jungle cabin to plantation mansion, and the struggle of Revolution. A Romance of Pre-Revolutionary Louisiana. A Romance of Pre-Revolutionary Louisiana Not long before the American Revolution, Judith Sheramy, a Puritan girl from New England, rode a flatboat down the Mississippi River with her family. On the river she met an adventurer, Philip Larne---cavalier and slave smuggler. The story of Judith and Philip is one of struggle---the passionate struggle of their stormy marriage, their struggle from jungle cabin to plantation mansion, and the struggle of Revolution. Two abiding passions held them together---their love and their dream of an empire in the Louisiana jungle. When their triumph came it was bitter, menaced always by the hatred of both whites and blacks. This is a romance in which, as the NEW YORK TIMES said, "the historical background, the necessary description, incident and conflict...give the story an enthralling swiftness...DEEP DUMMER is a grand job of story telling."
