The Alabama activist's uncommon utopian novel, described by Kessler as "an historical romance of Napoleonic refugees' Vine and Olive colony in Demopolis, Alabama, the novel depicts failed ideals. The focus upon the relation between a colony founder and his wife includes her critique of his treatment of her and hence attention to women's position in utopia."
