THOUGHTS ABOUT MY LATEST NOVEL 1st Generation

THOUGHTS ABOUT MY LATEST NOVEL– 1ST Generation [DIFFERENT ROADS SAME STOPS] is about three (3) generations of the same family: 1930s Arkansas, 1940s and 1980s Wisconsin. Jacob and wife Clara open this story in Arkansas in the mid1930s. This is a time when water came from a hole in the ground, a time when most country people rode on the backs of horses in wagons or simply walked–the automobile was an anomaly. Milk the family drank came directly from a cow and the butter they spread on their baked bread came directly from that milk. A mule and human labor were the chief implements for planting, cultivation, and harvesting food grown for the family table and cotton grown for sale. Some white men and the laws they made blocked the roads to progress and a better life for Negroes. Jacob, Clara and family struggled to overcome the roadblocks to their dreams and aspirations. If you like a good story you’ll love this book. It is in paper-back and e-book. Go to amazon.com/dp/0983947724 for your copy or buy one as a gift to someone you care about. THANK YOU!
