I love this story. Every time I read it I fall more in love with it.
I'm sorry I got totally lost on how Lissia family acquired all that land. Please enlighten me. Just as the othe readers I am totally hooked looking forward to the update. Hurry (lol)
Many Americans believe that only white people owned land and slaves however that is not true; there were free blacks in Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana and Georgia who owned land and slaves as well as Cherokees in Oklahoma. Lissia's maternal and paternal great grandparents were free black land owners originally from Louisiana and Virginia - her grandmother's father fought on the side of the confederacy at Fredericksburg.
Just wanted to let everyone know that chapters 13 & 14 are 'pending' with the site and will HOPEFULLY be available soon - I am off with my new bride on a honeymoon - we'll fill you in when we return...yes it is who you think it is...
I wanted to shout and scream, finally a writer who know there history. Many american black and white donot know that many black fought in the civil war on the southern side. My mother family is from the south and they have over five hundred arces of land. With her family everything is a state secret, regarding this land. Thank you for this lovely story.
There is so much love and forgiveness at every turn. The period this story takes place in can make one cringe at the journey an interracial romance would go on during this time. Your story is deeply moving and an important, incredible part of our history. It is so wonderful to read something like this that does not involve lynchings, beatings, or worse, death at the hands of the close minded. Thank you for sharing it with us. 💛
