spectacular story will resonate with readers of all ages, Imbibed with the beauty and aura of the old South, Across the Divide delivers a suspenseful tale that harks back to a chaotic time in our nations history.
With her captivating voice, Ms, Chase skillfully weaves a beautiful love story between a plantation owners son and the daughter of the
plantation horse trainer against the backdrop of the Klanwary and oftunyielding society in Freeman, Alabama in the tensionriddleds.
The authors narrative sets the stage with such artifice you feel as though youre in the middle of the action, holding your breath all the way.
This pageturner kept me up late and hooked me from the very beginning, Five spectacular all the way, A very sweet story, however the events that occur during the time the story is written's over shadow the romance, This is the third book I have read by K, Victoria Chase and this is the best one so far, I love that there was more romance between the main characters and that the conflict between them was resolved fairly quite soon.
There seems to be a difference in her writing since her first book and love that it had evolved, This wonderful story takes place in the mid's in Alabama, Having grown up in that era I wasn't sure what to expect, However, I found a love story between two unlikely people, One had been hurt immensely by death, He returns home to his best friend and father and finds death all around,
Alabama was one of the last holdouts to integration, The town of Freeman was not far from Selma, Elnora is the heroine. She is near finishing her last year in college at Selma University, Her best friend has returned home, angry with God, She knows she has to help him find himself,
This book is an account that shows the hatred of segregation and the zealous efforts of those who want equality.
Equality can be achieved even in love, Take the well written journey of healing, restoration, and love in these pages,
Great job Ms, Chase I was very excited to read this book because interracial romance is one of my favorite genres, the plot is very interesting and the portraying of this difficult era is very well written.
The romance was nice, BUT, some things in this book showed a little bit of an amateurish writing style, like focusing on the physical attraction between the two main characters.
Surprising
First I very surprised by this book, The characters were believable. I found myself disliking thebrothers causing all the trouble in town and their father's cover up of their bad acts, This is not an easy book to read because it makes a person look at a very turbulent time in history, I grew up during this period, I do recommend this book, It is very well written, Freedman, Alabama
With the charms of debauchery fading, Eric Montgomery travels home in search of a fresh start, Shadows of his past trail him to a place of division and desolation, . . and not only in his mind, The fractured faith of his youth is tested among the deeplyrooted prejudice of his neighbors and the lure of a beautiful black woman.
The return of her best friend is an answer to prayer in the most unexpected way, The boy Elie Brown knew is now a manone whose kiss compels her to a choice forbidden by her family, They can't even sit together in the same restaurant, How can their love survive
His old life might be too familiar and comfortable for Eric to leave it for an uncertain one with his childhood friend, and for Elie, a prudent option dressed in a handsome, darkskinned package would be safer.
. .
From Across the Divide is a contemporary interracial Christian romance with strong characters in an emotionally charged setting, Join Eric and Elie for an inspirational and turbulent ride of romance and redemption inAlabama, The book kept me intrigued, I am giving four because there were some spelling and grammar mistakes and I personally did not care for the Morgan and Madeline romance storyline.
Also I did not like that the book ended with Morgan and Madeline instead of Eric and Elie because, based on the description, that's who the book is mainly about.
