Description
In the turbulent aftermath of the Civil War, Northern schoolteacher Valinda Lacey travels to New Orleans with a determined mission: to help newly emancipated Black families build secure, thriving lives. As she confronts entrenched prejudice, political upheaval, and threats to the community she serves, Valinda finds an unexpected ally in Captain Drake LeVeq, a man whose charm and convictions match her own. Their growing attraction unfolds against a richly drawn backdrop of Reconstruction-era New Orleans, where courage, justice, family, and freedom are fiercely contested. Blending historical romance with a powerful portrait of Black resilience and community, the novel showcases Beverly Jenkins’s signature warmth, passion, and commitment to overlooked histories.
