Publisher's Synopsis
The Alfred Stone Trilogy takes one piece of documented history, a court record, and creates a fictitious three generation family saga leading up to a real court room scene, which is the final chapter of book three. Therefore, the book you hold in your hands now is entirely fiction, and a work which defies neat genre classification. In one sense, it is a work of Historical Fiction. Yet the overwhelming theme is that of an improbable love story, a Romance. An intertwined theme is that of 19th century English and American religiosity, as informed by the dominant book of its era, the King James Bible. So perhaps a work of Christian Fiction? No, it contains too much erotica and violence for the staid reader of Christian Fiction. So...a Gothic Romance? With touches of Magical Realism... If you are looking for something different, this is it.
