Set against the backdrop of the post reconstruction south, this novel explores the love affair between a sharecropper’s daughter and the son of an illegal relationship between a Jewish business man and his mulatto “wife”. It explores the social, religious, and family fiber of the rural community of Stewart county Georgia, and how it affects the ever-evolving love between these two from the very first time their eyes locked. His hair was full and long and wavy and silky and black as the night. She couldn’t make out all the details from this distance, but she knew he was very handsome. That she could tell from this distance. “Pank! Pank! There Felix, an look who he walkin wit. Pank that one fine lookin’ man.” “Calm down gal.” Theresa scolded as she pried Mary’s hand off of her forearm. She felt like she was going to have her shoulder wrenched out of socket. “What you so excited bout? Since when you git so worked up bout Felix? An who he wit got you so riled?” She asked. Mary had already stretched out her arm and was pointing her index finger in the direction of Felix and the handsome stranger. Somewhat annoyed at all this commotion about Felix and his companion, Theresa glanced in the direction that Mary was pointing and quickly said, “I don’t see no Felix. Where...” she stopped mid-sentence. She saw who her sister was pointing out. “Oh my!” was all she could manage to say. From the first time she saw him until the last time she beheld his face, the love between Theresa and George grew. As you share their life, you will laugh, you will cry, you will cheer, you will mourn, but you will not be able to put this book, or its sequel, "Our Season in Grasmere", down.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Chuck Goode was born in Hartford, CT, in 1949, into a working-class family that put great value on the importance of bringing honor to God and family. Influenced by a strong father, a loving mother, and an encouraging family, Chuck successfully navigated through the pitfalls and traps that ensnare so many in the inner-city. He showed creative gifts at an early age. An excellent student and athlete, he received many scholarship offers from universities throughout the country, but he cherished UConn. It was also the best opportunity to stay connected to his family. Over the years, as his relationship with God grew, his writing became more inspired by revelations from The Spirit, and his deep love for his family. Most of his work involves Godly encouragement, and many of his works were birthed in creating greeting cards and tributes for his family. He is the President of Goode God Greetings. (www.goodegodgreetings.com) In 2011, he completed his first novel, “Our Season in Grasmere”. It has since been published as two novels: “Prepare for Us a Season” and “Our Season in Grasmere”. Chuck formulated his publishing company, Goode God Publishing, and completed this book, “Whispers Just Before Dawn”, an anthology of poems, essays, and letters, 2013.
