Book Description

Angel Oak is estimated to be more than 400 years old. The story of the live oak begins with the "purchase" of Johns Island from the Cussoe Indians by a representative of Sir Anthony Ashley Cooper in 1675. The land upon which the tree grows was then granted to Abraham Waight in 1717. The oak garnered its name when descendant Martha Waight married Justus Angel. This same family maintained ownership of the property for 242 years. Today, the Angel Oak is owned by the City of Charleston. Authors Ruth M. Miller and Linda Lennon describe life on Johns Island through 300 years and the special place the tree has held in the hearts of Lowcountry residents. A foreword was provided by Becky Woods, communications manager for the Lowcountry Land Trust.

Book Description

“A mysterious radiance slowly developed in the dark alley, growing in intensity, gradually taking the form of an alluring full-bodied woman with ghostly braided locks, startling everyone, including Worthy Deen. The specter was as translucent and elusive as a wisp of fog, sparkling with eldritch power. Her fluttering robes gave the appearance of soft, fuzzy, white light. Her features were indistinct but captivating, and her bare, ghostly feet spurned the filth of the walkway over which she floated, eerily peering at the gathering.” Throne of the Peacock Angel is a twisted and captivating tale of mystery, murder, mysticism and betrayal, in which the protagonist, Worthy Deen, is reluctantly entangled. Worthy Deen is a successful, yet reclusive business owner in New Orleans whose life is capsized by influential and ruthless forces. Additionally, Worthy carries a terrible and haunting secret that grants him paranormal abilities while exacting a horrific toll. Join Worthy Deen as he battles with life and limb to unravel the candlelit mysteries and arcane secrets of New Orleans, Charleston and the timeless Sea Islands of the South Carolina coast.
