Garlic was Planter's valet. Now Garlic lives in the old overseer's cabin with his wife and children. Garlic tells Cynara that winning the land for Tara was his doing and that he designed the entire house and grounds himself. Garlic also tells Cynara some truths about her mother that Cynara never knew, changing the way Cynara views her mother and her own past. In the end, R. leaves Cotton Farm to Garlic, to whom most everyone feels should have had the land.
