Jane Bennett Gaddy Ph.D.
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel,
and afterward receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but thee?
and there is none upon earth that
I desire beside thee.

(Psalm 73:24-25)
Jane Bennett Gaddy is a true daughter of the South. Born in the Mississippi Delta in 1940, a mere seventy-five years after the close of the War Between the States, she writes with passion about her forebears who fought and died in the heat of battle and the family that was left behind to endure the aftermath. Her stories are fiction for who can know all the little nuances of a life, much less the poignant details that Jane Gaddy showers upon her readers. She holds vigil over the history of the South, the facts irrefutable. And to authenticate the family side of her novels are the letters her great-great grandfather and his sons wrote home while they were at war, the letters back to the fighting men from her great-great grandmother, likely strewn and blood-bespattered across the peach orchard, the wheat field, and the railroad cut of the Gettysburg Battlefield where the Clark men found their final resting place on July 1 and 3, 1863.
Gaddy is the author of House Not Made With Hands, a poignant memoir that first sparked the writing of her historical fiction series that presently consists of six novelsThe Mississippi Boys published in 2008; Isaacs House, 2011; JOAB, 2013; Rachel, After the Darkness, 2014, To Love Again, 2016; and Inherited Courage, 2018.
She holds a Ph.D. in Religion; administers a course in American Literature and English Composition for external studies students of Bethany Divinity College and Seminary in Alabama; and she edits manuscripts and assists her clients all the way to the publisher. She is a proud member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy through Captain Thomas Goode (T.G.) Clark, Company F, 42nd Mississippi Infantry Regiment, Joseph Davis Brigade, A.P. Hill Corps, Henry Heth Division, Army of Northern Virginia, General Robert E. Lee, Commander. Her genealogy extends to Lieutenant Jonathan Clark of Christian County, Kentucky, who fought in the Kentucky militia in the Revolutionary War.lihat lebih sedikit
