Tritangled

Deep Alabama, when the air stunk of segregation and town pride was founded on Jim Crowism, Kennedy Elizabeth Barton, the curious daughter of a proud Uncle Tom and an ailing housemaid, fell victim to the boyish charms of the captain of the basketball team, Andrew Preston. A white boy. It started with her legs spread on the back seat of his 1969 hunter green Nova. The painful sting of losing her virginity paled in the face of losing her mother. Will this episode of the Fire & Desire series end with Kennedy’s legs strapped to a table somewhere in the backwoods of Mississippi? Or will Kennedy walk away from this chapter of her unfolding life with pure hate for her father and scarred forever?
