Description

Joshua Stokes is the charismatic, dedicated sheriff of Mobile County. Known for his manners, strength, and old-fashioned approach his passion for maintaining the pride and chivalry of the 'Old South' make him a desirable lawman. If asked to use one word to describe him, most folks would say, trustworthy. Women find Joshua attractive, and who could blame them. His six-foot lean frame, swarthy complexion, piercing green eyes, and charming smile make a handsome combination; and, although he could have his pick of available women in the county, which on occasion he does spend time with one or two, he chooses to live alone. He enjoys the solitude afforded by his 160-year-old cabin that sets alongside the Escatawpa River at the Mississippi State Line. It was once the residence of the overseer for the Caledonia Plantation. The plantation spanned over a thousand acres along the river back in the 1850's when William Moffett, a cotton broker from Ireland, bought the land and rebuilt the old cabin and the original Federal Style home that was built in the early 1830s. The main house was destroyed by fire shortly after the Civil War when a gang of notorious outlaws known as the Copeland Gang was raping the land with impunity. They murdered the Moffett family and then set fire to the home. A spiritual man, Joshua is unconcerned with material things. He spends a great deal of time sitting on his porch, drinking whiskey, and reminiscing the past. Land that has known such violence usually hangs on to bits of the past and occasional visits from the spirit world mystify Joshua but usually alert him to impending dangers. Joshua Stokes is also a lonely man. He drinks too much and hides his pain behind a brave face and dry wit. Joshua's quest to unravel the forty-year-old mystery of his mother's disappearance is interrupted yet again by forces beyond his control when a young mother is fatally injured while trying to escape an unhealthy relationship. Her death and her husbands subsequent suicide leaves a child orphaned and set him on a different course. Eventually, all paths lead to more questions and point him on an inward journey of self-exploration, as ultimately he has to face demons from his own past.
