Winds of Change is a whirlwind novel of bi-racial love set against
those forgotten decades that include the Spanish-American War, the
San Francisco earthquake, and World War I. It deals with
segregation and injustices to Southern black and white communities
during the post Civil War period when old attitudes persisted and
interracial love led to disastrous consequences. The racially
charged love and conflict of the critically acclaimed When Stars
Align have become more entrenched. Josiah, Bess, and Stephen
discover facts about themselves that refute everything they
believed regarding both their parents and their racial background.
Loves are thwarted as they each struggle with echoes of their past.
It is a tumultuous time in American history that includes the
inventions of airplanes, automobiles, telephones and movies, amidst
decades of lynchings and economic turmoil. Racial biases complicate
lives and relationships as newly arrived immigrants vie with white
and Negro workers all trying to gain a piece of the American dream.
It is a socially relevant, historically accurate, saga of decades
often overlooked in American history. Winds of Change follows the
next generation from those we came to know in When Stars Align.
Carole Eglash-Kosoff lives and writes in Valley Village,
California. She graduated from UCLA and spent her career teaching,
writing, and traveling to more than seventy countries. An avid
student of history, she researched the decades preceding and
following the Civil War for nearly two years, including time in
Louisiana, the setting for Winds of Change and When Stars Align. It
is a story of bi-racial love during a period of terrible injustice.
It is a story of war, reconstruction, and racism, but most of all;
it is a story of hope. This is her third book. In 2006, following
the death of her husband, she spent several months teaching in the
black townships of South Africa. Her first book, The Human Spirit -
Apartheid's Unheralded Heroes, tells the true life stories of an
amazing array of men and women who have devoted their lives during
the worst years of apartheid to help the children, the elderly, and
the disabled of the townships. These people cared when no one else
did and their efforts continue to this day.
