Produktbeschreibung
In the Deep South of the early 1940s, siblings Carly and Josie Turner find themselves thrust into a world of harrowing tribulations after a shattering family tragedy. On the run and under the looming spectre of death, these gifted children must mature quickly, learning to dodge both the watchful eyes of the law and the dark shadows of a haunting familial nightmare. Navigating this bleak landscape, they find unlikely allies who stand against the corruption that permeates both local and state governments. But as adolescence dawns, Carly's life takes on another unexpected twist. He reunites with Eva, a childhood friend, forging a passionate bond that transcends color in a region governed by Jim Crow and terrorized by the Ku Klux Klan. Their love is a beacon in the darkest of times, facing down prejudice and threats with unwavering strength. The dream of education and a brighter future leads Carly and Eva to Marston City University. An institution that promises enlightenment, it also exposes them to the seething hatred of a community not ready for change, and the malevolent clutches of the Klan, eager to snuff out their shining light. A poignant exploration of love, resilience, and courage to defy convention, Beyond the Weeping Willow unveils the incredible journey of two souls undeterred by a world that seeks to tear them apart. Can love truly conquer all, or are there forces too powerful to overcome? Dive into this Southern Gothic tale and uncover the mysteries that lie in the shadows of the weeping willow.
