Savannah Time is a story of human caring, loyalty, inevitable
change, bittersweet heartbreak, and hope, set in the lovely garden
that is historic Savannah.
In this follow-on to Chatham Square, the eclectic collection of
residents of one of Savannah's original residential squares have
moved along in the almost-glacial "Savannah time" pace of this
southern city, although, for some, the concern is that the pace is
going too fast-that inevitable unwanted change is in the air.
Samantha, the little black girl with the deformed leg of the
previous book, has grown to nearly her eighteenth birthday. The
residents of the square who rallied to ensure she had the
reconstructive operations she needed are, for the most part, now in
need of nurturing attention themselves, and Samantha is providing
the "Florence Nightingale" support they need. But Samantha is at a
cross-roads in her life. She has long said she wanted to become a
doctor, but as the time approaches for her to leave home in pursuit
of that dream, she feels the pull to remain in Chatham Square to
help her friends.
Conflicted between what they want and what Samantha needs, her
friends on the square fight to conquer their own fear of change for
Samantha's sake. The doll maker, Ginny, who is the emotional "glue"
for the residents of the square and employs Samantha as her
assistant; Rose, the matriarch "queen of the square"; Arnie, the
irascible but kindly super of Ginny and Samantha's apartment house;
and the ailing bookstore pair, Tom and Edward, all have to bow to
inevitable changes if Samantha is going to be set free.
Added to the mix are two young men vying for Samantha's
attention and a new resident to the square, a novelist on a
mysterious mission.
