Publisher's Synopsis
ABOUT THE BOOK Daniel and Faye is the sequel to Charles and Melinda, a short (15,000-word) work of historical fiction set against the backdrop of pre-segregation America. In spite of the Jim Crow Laws that have remedied some of the problems of the country's racial tensions in the past, trials and tribulations continue for black Americans. Faye still recalls the bitter moments of her own childhood, including a KKK attack on her family that resulted in the loss of their home, followed by her father's unjust incarceration on a chain gang. While Daniel comes from a different background, he, too, sees the destruction caused in a discriminatory society that is still separate and certainly not equal. The lovers must navigate the difficulties of their lives together in the tumultuous 1970s, a time of protest and an ever-increasing drug epidemic that harms blacks and whites alike. As time wanes on and their families go through countless changes, can they find solace and strength in each other along the way? Will the ghosts of the past, the social injustices, and the trying times of the decade be too much for them to withstand, or can Daniel and Faye find the solace and strength to carry on, relying on their love, their family, and their faith in God? Will Charles and Melinda's daughter Faye finally find the freedom and happiness
