Why is the beginning life story of a southern African-American
evangelist so captivating? Perhaps it is because like Melchedik in
the Bible, there are no known records that reflect her birth, only
her death. Lillie, the title of the novel, switches back and forth
from third person omniscient to first person for each character.
The true and somewhat fictionalized story, better coined as
"faction," spins a tale of three siblings and their lives.
Fayetteville, North Carolina as the backdrop in the late 1800's
provides historical latitude. This novel is one about family and
the bond that exists, not unfamiliar to many stories about all
families. Yet, this novel stands alone for two reasons. First, it
is a factual story. It portrays free blacks during the
Reconstruction Period in America and how they lived. Second, the
story depicts a universal thought of Blacks and religion, an
important piece in most blacks' lives. Experience the lives of
those whose tales are revealed on the pages. Stories of strife,
love and triumph surrender themselves as messages of eternal faith
and hope become the foundation deeply rooted in family.
