by Maria McKenziePublish: Jul 30, 2014Series: UnchainedHistorical Fiction African American Interest

Book Overview

Family secrets...why are they hidden, how are they discovered, what do they cost? Revelation, part three of a dramatic and explosive historical fiction trilogy that concludes a compelling American family saga of love, deceit, emotional destruction and in the end, forgiveness...

"Wow, what an incredible journey! I have... never read anything like this and it's hard to believe it's fiction. This is a story of a family that truly spanned generations and a curse that ended when everyone was allowed to choose to accept the truth. If I [were] a smoker I would probably light up a cigarette now!" - K. Willis, Amazon Review

"This was the final book in the trilogy and I was not disappointed.Halfway through the story I found myself crying..." - Cheryl Berry, Amazon Review

"This book was enthralling from page 1..." - Cynthia West, Amazon Review

"This was an excellent trilogy from beginning to end. A must read if you enjoy historical fiction..." - Kenya Shoffner, Amazon Review

Light-skinned Selina Standish lives a life of emotional pain and torment. In 1906, at the tender age of eight, she is convinced by her mother, actress Lavinia Standish, the daughter of a slave, to pass as white. Although Selina yields to her mother's insistence to pass, she refuses to cut ties completely with her "Negro" relatives, including her twin brother, a child her mother deems too dark.

However, at age seventeen, in the year 1915,Selina meets wealthy southerner Jack Cosgrove, the man of her dreams. Keeping her ancestry a secret, Selina is conflicted by Jack's "negrophobia"and negative attitude toward her race. She must determine if happiness with him could ever be a possibility, especially if she were to reveal her bloodline.

Later, a chance encounter with Pastor Tony Manning opens Selina's eyes to real love. Although he is a progressive thinker regarding race relations, Tony appears to draw the line at interracial marriage. In order to live as his wife, Selina decides she must completely disassociate herself from all her "colored" relatives. While bound to a chain of secrecy, Selina struggles to live in honesty. How true can she be to her husband, if she can never reveal the truth about herself? In 1933, Selina's brother reappears in her life. Can she successfully hide his existence? How will her decision touch the lives of future generations to come? read more

BIOGRAPHY
I was a librarian for several years, and librarian, of course, equals book lover! I enjoy curling up with a good book when not writing, or daydreaming about a new novel to write. I'm a sucker for a good love story, and live on a steady reading diet of romantic suspense, thrillers, historical fiction and non-fiction, ... biographies and true crime.

I've always been a daydreamer, but didn't enjoy reading until I discovered Nancy Drew at age 10. As for writing, I never thought I'd actually pen a novel. I'm not a talker, so how could I ever fill up a book? As a quiet person, I internalize a lot. And later in life I discovered that internalizing can create some wonderful stories!

Being in an interracial marriage (I'm black and my husband is white), I enjoy exploring the topic of interracial/multicultural romance in our nation's past and writing tales of forbidden love.

Mixed race romance from decades gone by is emotionally explosive, providing heart-wrenching conflict, as well as incredible pain. Those elements combined create amazing stories. Love transcends all boundaries. If two hearts are meant to be together, they'll find a way, regardless of circumstance.

I graduated from Wittenberg University with a bachelor's degree in English, then received a master's in Library Science from Atlanta University.

I live in Cincinnati with my husband and our two sons. I'm a foodie, love old movies, history, museums and antiquing. I'm also a fitness fan and enjoy running. During my morning runs (or walks) I can come up with some great story ideas, if I'm not listening to a book! Book junkie that I am, audio books are an addiction! read more
