Acknowledgements

I first and always thank God for the giving of his Son, Jesus, to save me, and I acknowledge and confess that without Him, I have and am nothing.

To my family, I love you all.  Mom, you’re one special lady, dad and step-dad – you are awesome in unique ways.  Brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and fans who are like family...you rock.  Always love.

To all in my family who have gone to our heavenly home, I love you still.

To my son, you are my heart. I cherish you as the special gift sent from our Father in Heaven.  You make me better, and I love you.  Remain just who God made you, and never cave to the pressures of becoming anybody else.  You are wonderfully made.

To my husband, we did it again.  Love you.

Curse the Cotton

Life on the plantation for a Negro woman was already worse than any livelihood that existed, but when the wealthiest slave owner in the area destroys the only grasp on true, unquenchable love that Shelone has left to live for, her thirst for revenge is unleashed, starting in the vast cotton fields and ending in bloodshed all across the Marksman plantation!
