Description
Author Julius Parker announces his debut novel -- a breakout narrative that combines
young love, a nation's secrets, and family mysteries for a truly inspiring historical novel.
Until 1861, Grace Henry lived a quaint and quiet life with her adopted family in Southern
Maryland despite being the child of an Iroquois man and an enslaved mother. Amid the
turbulent backdrop of the times, external forces have ripped her from everything she's known
and delivered her onto a remote farm in Southwestern Virginia. Now oscillating
between hope and despair on a constant basis, Grace must become comfortable with
commanding her fierce independence if she's ever to find peace again.
One hundred years later, Emmaline Foster is struggling to forge her way through the first
colored nursing program at the University of Virginia while the Civil Rights Movement
reaches a fervent pitch outside her door. When she stumbles upon a hidden portion of her
lineage, Emmaline's life becomes intertwined with Grace Henry and a complicated past.
With the unlikely partnership of a basketball star and a passion for uncovering the truth,
Emmaline begins to unravel the threads of a war-torn, secret-ridden tapestry that spans
through generations of her family -- and that of the very South.
Bridge the chasm of time with Emmaline and Grace as they become united in their quest for
identity, freedom, and enduring love.
Historical fiction fans will fall in love with both Emmaline and Grace. Written for readers
with a vested interest in romance and mysteries based in history, Beneath the Draper
Moon makes a great addition to the library of anyone who enjoys historical romantic
mysteries.
