The publication of The Treason of Mary Louvestre is a dream come true for me. Many long years have gone into that blessed event. I look forward to sharing with you the story of this brave American hero as the book gains public attention.

I remember the fervor and public attention that Roots (both the novel and mini series) gained. It awakened the conscience of America as it chronicled the journey of Africans to the United States and into this culture. Hopefully, this novel will have a similarly profound impact on the American psyche as the world learns of the heroic journey of this woman who affected the outcome of the Civil War. She is no less important to our way of life now than was Kunta Kinte.

We can all benefit from the knowledge of an ordinary person who achieved an extraordinary feat—especially when it influenced and inspired what America has become.

Continue to join us as the book is launched in February 2013.
