"I'm just a simple poet who loved your novel of justice triumphing over the Ku Klux Klan. The secret slave graveyard with its ghosts blew me away." Marvinlouis Dorsey, author of Masquerades.

Two rival West Virginia senators fight for their ideals while their wives, both of Other origins, add to the fray. Ghosts appear at a secret slave graveyard to right never forgotten wrongs. A beautiful runaway teen weaves the story together.
