White Oak Plantation: Slavery's Deeper Roots (White Oak series)

An enslaved young woman craves a family. Her young mistress desires status in society. Can an unlikely bond change their lives forever?

Most slaves long for freedom. Eighteen-year-old Spicey longs for a sister.

As an orphaned house slave, she’s desperate to belong to a family—even her mistress Caroline’s family. But Caroline is more concerned with courting John, the local preacher, than noticing Spicey’s devotion or caring about her needs. She doesn’t even think to look past Spicey’s skin color to see their relationship for what it is.

When Spicey meets Junior, an enslaved young man with an intact family, she yearns deeply to have what he has. But would they accept her? And would Caroline allow the match?

When the decision to protect a runaway slave causes the girls to risk everything, will the chains of slavery keep them bound to a world of lies and prejudices or be the catalyst that sets them both free?

Rich in authentic details and unforgettable characters, Caroline, John, and Spicey’s stories progress in White Oak River: A Story of Slavery’s Secrets. Inspired by the author’s own family events, the novel continues the struggles Caroline endures to overcome the scars of slavery. Look for White Oak River: A Story of Slavery’s Secrets on Amazon.
