a Historical Christian Romance Novel

Book 1

What if Abel had killed Cain, but there was no jury of his peers?

In 1928 Georgia, a black man who kills a white man is automatically guilty, but the bedwarmer’s son, an ex-slave, is no normal black man. And the dead white man is his half-brother. Once his lily-white lawyer lady learns the truth, everything changes. Can she save him from swinging?

Will the bedwarmer murder the one she’s been bought to serve?

From the antebellum South, come travel the dusty trails of Jim Crowe Dalton, Georgia with slave and master, saint and sinner. See if God is really big enough, if He truly cares about His children. McAdoo has done it again, this time in a brand new way. A delightful morsel for the palates of Christian readers world round.

Caryl McAdoo is really making a name for herself writing historical romances. This one intrigued me from the beginning. It’s an unusual story with an unusual twist or two.

This wonderfully written, spellbinding story is set in 1928 in Georgia. In preparation for his trial for murdering his white half-brother, a half black man tells his story to a young, white female, big city lawyer. This historical fiction story has a strong Christian thread that makes it even more enjoyable.

An excellent historical fiction novel! The plot and characters are well-developed. A modern story with a retelling of family history before, during and after the civil war.

Compelling story of love that saw no skin color yet while surrounded by those who did. Wonderfully weaves the love of God into the tangled story of family choices both good and bad and the legacy that leaves behind.
