Book excerpt: Set in the Deep South during a period of civil unrest, Red Clay and Roses is a fictional account of a true story. The discovery of an old ledger opens a window into life in a time when women were supposed to keep quiet and serve, abortion was illegal, adoption difficult, and racism rampant. Mystery, rape, murder, racial tension, drama, and forbidden love are encountered as the origin of the ledger unfolds. Sybil reveals that she was an unconventional, independent, high spirited young white woman in the 1950s-60s in a world that belonged to the white man. Sybil defies the norm and sets out to open her own business. She becomes the love interest of Nathan, an African-American man, in a summer romance that leaves her mournful. Nathan is a medical student whose father is employed as handyman to the local chiropractor. Nathan's sister is missing and he cannot know why. The community does not seem to care. His life is altered forever. Nathan becomes directly involved in the Civil Rights Movement and Sybil is torn between living the mundane life of her peers or a life that involves fastening herself to a taboo relationship. The seeds of prejudice have been sown by a society that seethed with bigotry. ?Nicholls has a distinct and powerful voice'steeped in history this novel deeply penetrates the surface of a complex era providing a rich and full-bodied reading experience.' ~ Sammie Vittoria, Library Media Specialist ?This is no ordinary fluffy romance novel.
