The murder of an innocent, promising young black man, whose father
just happens to be one a legendary social activist ignites a firestorm
of race, politics and faith.
Heartstown South Carolina is a small, quaint segregated town filled
faithful, god-fearing obedient families. When the Black community in
this small city becomes fed up with years of police brutality and
second-class treatment, they join together in an epic fight that
exposes the inequality and corruption to the entire country.
As the story unfolds, the entire nation becomes mesmerized by the
incredibly complex story of murder, revenge and the faith of an entire
community. Thousands of people from across the nation race to join
this battle, not as a fight for the independence of a community, but
as a symbol of every struggle for dignity and equality in the world.
Soon, every eye in America becomes focused on the situation in South
Carolina.
I wanted to share this synopsis of my first novel - "The Situation in
South Carolina" available on Amazon, and in bookstores across the
country. I would love to offer you a review copy to see if your club
would be interested in sharing this story of faith, strength and
upheaval. I will say honestly, though, that this novel would not be
classified in the 'urban fiction' , romance, or "street lit" genre. I
would not want to mislead any bookclub's interest, rather, it has been
classified as literary fiction, although its complexities are sure to
strike a chord with anyone willing to enjoy a great story with
innumerable implications.
This book is not just about South Carolina, but about the segregated,
oft-forgotten communities in every state in the Union - invisible and
dirsregarded - whose residents and familes live in the darker half of
the two Americas.
