DESCRIPTION:
Teresa knew that she had to craft a story and that this "scene" had to be woven into its fabric. Teresa, known as "Teri" in her private life, resides in Indiana with her husband Karl. Ad copy, catalog descriptions, marketing collateral, company newsletters. As Teresa became a working adult, she always gravitated to the jobs that allowed her the freedom to express ideas. While her classmates groaned when their teachers assigned book reports, research papers, and essays, Teresa had to hide the spark in her eyes and the giddiness in her voice. From adolescent poetry to short stories, writing was a creative escape for a shy little girl who tried to keep her voice under wraps. Then, one day after reading a book titled "To Be a Slave" (by Julius Lester), she was especially angered by one account of particular cruelty. The couple has two adult children, daughters Kayla and Abbey, as well as a grandson, Luke. Two years later, her first novel, "The Secrets of Heavenly," was born.

Right away, two of the Master's children-Marianne and Seth-forge a bond with Willa, in spite of their older brother Foster's warnings about the evils of mixing with the "darkies." Although she grows up in the "big house" treated like family by her pair of white friends, Willa cannot forget that she is still a slave.

Olivia assumed that bigotry was the product of her mother's loyalty to long-dead relatives, an allegiance to maintain
"I'll never forget this book" according to Britney Turner. Reading this book, I felt sad, angry, hopeful, happy, love, excited, and anxious. I somehow connected with many of the characters and felt everything they felt. This is one book I encourage everyone to read!!!. Lazy Weekend Read Interesting book that kept my attention as a weekend read. Not my favorite antebellum recount, but written at a level conducive for most readers. Characters are not fully developed and could use more complexity.. Best book I have ever read. Absolutely could not put it down from beginning to end. I love these kind of books however very sad for how the slaves had to live. Very well written and looking forward to a sequel. I have to know what happens next!
