Description: [St. Simons Trilogy - Book #3 - each book individual in itself - #3 a touching story. ed.] ***Lover, determination, and courage abound on a picturesque Georgia island as Eugenia Price's magnificent St. Simon's Trilogy concludes...*** The Beloved Invader is Anson Dodge, a wealthy young Northerner, who, when he came south to St. Simons Island, found God and lost his heart to the beautiful land. **Called into the ministry, Anson becomes the pastor of the little island church and gives his life to the people there**. His wife, Ellen, also loves St. Simons and its inhabitants, but despite their caring, many of the islanders turn their war-inspired distrust of Yankees against the Dodges. There are a few, like the Goulds, who open their hearts and homes, and Anna Gould falls in love with Anson - both she and Ellen devote themselves to him. ***When tragedy strikes at the heart of the little community, they seek consolation for their grief, struggling with their faith and attempting to rebuild their dreams.***
