While tracing ancestral footprints from the 1800's, this avid genealogist unearthed a web of mysterious threads that compelled her to weave this powerful account of her great, great grandfather’s life. “Although this is my first novel with sections fictionalized and embellished, the historical and genealogical data are factual. Daniel’s strength to merely survive amid hardships and heartaches, has always amazed me. Hopefully the reader will be encouraged to follow suit.” Charlotte’s love of history, her competency as a researcher, and her artistry in spinning a great story makes this work an exceptional ancestral puzzle. She resides in Baton Rouge with her husband of forty years, and boasts of two adult children, and three grandchildren.

All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer. Ernest Hemingway
