A Man's Passion

A Man’s Passion is a thrilling tale of the past that revolves around the experiences of one family. Dorothy (Dot) Black listens to her great-grandmother Hattie’s tales of a simpler time as they journey to Montgomery, Alabama, and the Peace and Justice Museum.


There is a romantic spin as well as intrigue that weaves an additional subplot which shows where we in America were and still need to go.


It is an engrossing tale as they find themselves intrigued by each character presented in such a way that associates the emotional aspects throughout this story.


This work finds a unique way of incorporating the beginning of one family which will create an enjoyable read from beginning to end.
