About this title

Synopsis

IN HER FIRST LIFE (novel and screenplay)

Where Was God on May 15, 1974?

by past Oprah guest author and former Pulitzer Fiction nominee Gene Cartwright

FROM THE AUTHOR'S LATE FRIEND, MS. CICELY TYSON:

“I have not been so moved by a story since reading Alex’s [Haley] book, Roots. When the film is made, I’m laying claim to the role of Aunt Rose.” —Cicely Tyson

When the pregnant 12-year-old daughter of a poor southern minister fingers the 17-year-old son of a Southern state’s wealthiest politically connected family, she is sent north but defiantly returns years later and is targeted for murder.

A coming-of-age saga in the life of a poor, 12-year-old southern girl whose first life ended during a walk home with friends in rural Arkansas.

• A pregnant 12-year-old poor southern girl overcomes traumatic odds and death threats.

• In Her First Life is an epic novel that spans 26 years.

• Where Was God on May 15, 1974?

• When the pregnant 12-year-old daughter of a black southern preacher fingers the son of the state's wealthiest family, she’s exiled to Chicago relatives, defiantly returns 14 years later, and is targeted for murder by that family still clinging to their Confederate heritage.

Where Was God on May 15, 1974?

This question may strike you as sacrilegious, but you were not there on May 15, 1974. Only one other person was there when twelve-year-old Deborah Yvonne Davis lived the last day of her first life.

On that sweltering but beautiful 104-degree day in Reedville, Arkansas, Deborah Yvonne Davis—a poor, rural, Arkansas Baptist preacher’s second of three daughters—saw her first life end during a walk home from school down dusty Crispus Attucks Road. She had no one else to turn to save God Almighty. No one answered.
