With a heavy heart, Hannah drove back to Covington. Her project differed so from River Link, which was a vital community project. North Carolina abounded with national forests, state forests, and parks making Anson’s land redundant to potential funders.

Then she thought of the Maxwells and began to wonder if perhaps she could enlist their interest, their help. They were reputed to be the wealthiest landowners on Cove Road. Huge trucks purveyed milk to processing plants from Maxwell’s Dairy Farm three days a week. Several times a month, the fat round rumps of cows crowded into wood-slatted trucks were shipped off to the stockyard. But the most lucrative business the Maxwells operated, according to Harold, was a stud farm, and there were days, when the wind was right, that she, and Amelia, and Grace could hear the calls and laughter coming from the fenced pasture used for this purpose behind the bam. George Maxwell, known as Max, had given Amelia a ride home after her accident in the fog. Amelia said he was pleasant and seemed concerned about her. It was time to visit the Maxwells, maybe they could at least point a direction.
