Where The Rivers Merge

 Mary Alice Munroe is the author of the historical fiction novel entitled Where The Rivers Merge. The author lives in South Carolina and is a conservationist. Her facts about the birds, the plants, and the animals make her conservation work very apparent. The Mayfair estate grows rice and horses. The mother and father have three children. The middle child is a girl named Eliza and she is a tomboy. She would rather be outside riding horses than do any of the womanly work inside. She is a disappointment to her mother but a big help to her father. She pushes back against societal norms. The book starts out in 1908 and ends in 1998 when Eliza is 80 years old. I really enjoyed this book.
