The fa ade is fading, questions are growing, and time is running out. Brynn wanted to find answers about her world's carefree existence and her own insatiable curiosity, and upon learning the truth about her planet Halcyon, Brynn's task became simple: stop what she knew was coming. Behind the veneer of simplicity, though, nothing but complexity awaited. How could three people who were just learning to throw off the shackles of their unconscious limitations challenge an entire social order? More importantly, how could they survive the wrath of the deadly Angels who invaded Brynn's dreams and loomed over her every waking moment? An unexpected alliance with a small group of rebels from a place Brynn had never heard of only days before offered some hope-technology she hadn't known existed, a hard-working person's ability to endure, and a recklessness fueled by an icy determination she didn't fully understand. But secrets lurked among them too, and when a betrayal from someone close to Brynn puts everyone in danger, bonds are shaken and lines are drawn. In the battle against the Angels, the only victory is survival.

In an act of kindness (and to alleviate guilt over her family's role in slavery) Amanda Roberts became the benefactor of Promise Land, a school and orphanage for black children. Not afraid to confront Klansmen who fight against the school, and engaged to a local plantation owner, she finds herself falling in love with the school's administrator, a black man from the East, Noah Jackson. Faced with condemnation from the start, their steamy liaison is more than she'd bargained for. Why should she, a white heiress from a prominent Southern family, risk so much? That kind of love was too painful. And then there was Rita, the demented former slave of the Roberts, who pointed to Amanda and her sister Ginger and told them... "Don't tell master I told you but you are the blood of a slave."
Rose from the Concrete is a unique book of poetry filled with passion, with a delightful spin on my roller-coaster life. One of my dreams was to become a writer. What a journey It appeared impossible. The struggles in my mind were so enormous, especially the audacity of thinking I could go beyond my capabilities. Beautiful expressions of loveliness, these masterfully crafted poems did not start out that way. I had to believe in myself and my creations. I had to say it, eliminating the seeds of weeds in my thinking, and speaking, planting seeds of possibilities knowing that they would grow. Now armed with fruits of confidence, I release these beauties. They will whisk you away into the arms of hope. They will inspire you. From dirt to diamond, becoming a savage, eating cabbage, the truth is, I learn to trust that, it is not by might, nor by power but by the Spirit of the Lord Almighty. I rise.
On a hill, reared back from a northern lake, stood a weather-beaten farmhouse, creaking in a heavy winter blizzard. It was an old-fashioned, many-pillared structure. The earmarks of hard winters and the fierce suns of summer were upon it. From the main road it was scarcely discernible, settled, as it was, behind a row of pine trees, which in the night wind beat and tossed mournfully. In the front room, which faced the porch, sat a man, -a tall, thin man, with straight, long jaws, and heavy overhanging brows. With moody eyes he was staring into the grate fire, a fearful expression upon his face. He straightened his shoulders, got up, and paced the floor back and forth, stopping now and then to listen expectantly. Then again he seated himself to wait. Several times, passionately insistent, he shook his head, and it was as if the refusal were being made to an invisible presence. Suddenly he lifted his face as the sound of a weird, wild wail was borne to him, mingling with the elf-like moaning of the wind. He leaned forward slightly, listening intently. From somewhere above him pleading notes from a violin were making the night even more mournful. A change came over the thin face. "My God " he exclaimed aloud. "Who's playing like that?" He crossed the room and jerked the bell-rope roughly. In a few moments the head of a middle-aged colored woman appeared at the door. "Did you tell my daughter I wanted to see her?" questioned the man. "No, sah, I didn't. When you got here she wasn't in. Then she slid to the garret afore I saw 'er. Now she's got to finish her fiddlin' afore I tell 'er you're here. I never bother Miss Jinnie when she's fiddlin', sah." The old woman bowed obsequiously, as if pleading pardon. "Yes, sir; Jinnie, for short, sir," answered the girl, with a slight inclination of her head. Awkwardly, and with almost an embarrassed manner, she walked in front of the grate to the chair pointed out to her. The man glanced sharply at the strongly-knit young figure, vibrant with that vital thing called "life." He sighed and dropped back limply. There followed a lengthy silence, until at last Thomas Singleton shifted his feet and spoke slowly, with a grim setting of his teeth. "I have much to say to you. Sit back farther in your chair and don't stare at me so."
