BENEATH THE VELVET SKIES is the story of four beleaguered children coming of age in a small Mississippi town in the early 1970s. On the surface, the town seems like any other rural town, but within its city limits lies a fair share of resident evil. Life in Good Hope is all about overcoming the deficits of oneâs birth and upbringing. A fast paced mystery that contains adult language and romance.
This volume is a collection of more than 50 essays and stories first published in the "Madison County Herald" which provide a heartfelt look back at life in the 1970s within a small Mississippi town.
In the first volume of a series beginning in the 1950s and ending in the 1980s, Nathan Harris, a 19-year-old farm boy, shares a passionate affair with a 26-year-old black woman in Mississippi which results in the birth of a son. This revelation--realized eight years later--threatens his marriage and pits him in a life-or-death struggle with his bigoted uncle.
