Celia Garth

By: Gwen Bristow

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

A bustling port city, Charleston, South Carolina, is the crossroads of the American Revolution, where supplies and weapons for the rebel army must be unloaded and smuggled north. From the window of the dressmaker's shop where she works, lovely Celia Garth, recently engaged to the heir to a magnificent plantation, watches all of this thrilling activity.

When the unthinkable occurs and the British capture and occupy Charleston, bringing fiery retribution to the surrounding countryside, Celia sees her world destroyed. The rebel cause seems lost until the Swamp Fox, American general Francis Marion, takes the fight to the British - and one of his daring young soldiers recruits Celia to spy on the rebels' behalf.

Out of the ashes of Charleston and the Carolina countryside will rise a new nation - and a love that will change Celia Garth forever in this historical romance hailed by the Chicago Tribune as "an exciting tale of love and war in the tradition of Gone with the Wind".

great way to enjoy one of my favorite books!

Gwen Bristow was an amazing author, her books are great reads. The characters come to life.

A Dear Old Friend

I first read Celia Garth as a fourteen year old with my best friend on a quest to read every work of fiction in our school's small library. I connected to the book because my two old maid aunts lived in Charleston & it quickly became one of my favorite cities for extended visits during summer break. They entertained me with tours of the historic area around the battery, the local plantation gardens, the islands, & the wonderful restaurants. I was happy to find & reconnect with Celia on Audible.

One of my all time favorite stories!
