If you don’t know Kittie Howard,
you should. She is a woman with a kind and giving heart. Her new book, Rings of
Trust, is now available in e-book. It deals with controversial subjects. I love it when
authors venture into territory that is not always comfortable.
In a segregated South with a sharp
racial divide, values are about to clash...
When David Broussard leavesIwo Jima , the
decorated Marine thinks he'll never be in combat again. He wants to be with his
family, have an operation to remove wartime shrapnel, and get on with his life.
But he can't, not in rural South Louisiana in
1953. The Ku Klux Klan is furious David Broussard's son, Remy, wants to go to a
black friend's birthday party. The white supremacists come at the World War II
veteran with unbridled fury. Since the Klan operates in secrecy, violence
spreads during the night. Hit and run operations terrify those who live along
the bayou road.
But something must be done. Moses Dubois is dead, lynched by the Klan. The white-robed supremacists are on the prowl, eager to kill again. When Henri Doucet disappears, David Broussard's idealism collides with the urgent need to protect his family. The Klan's left a note: 'You're next.' David can't act alone. He needs help. But whom to trust?

ReplyDeleteSorry. My comment had a glaring error and I had to repost.
DeleteI've almost finished reading it, and am impressed with the topic she has tackled, the superb handling of dialect, and the way her writing has developed from Remy Broussard's Christmas to Rings of Trust. Well done, Kittie! This is a full fledged, serious novella that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in the historical south of the Fifties and its issues of racial prejudice and inequality. Terrorism of the Fifties? Makes me think about the terrorism of today, with different "faces.
