Sarah's Roses, Book I: Roses of Blue

They say some stories are better left untouched, unknown, untold. With scandal and mystery the only inheritance her mother left her, Sarah struggles to keep her illigitemate birth a secret as she tries to fit in with high society of the Antebellum South. And when she forms a tender attachment to her slave, Sam Climb, her already complicated life starts to get even more complicated. Living in a time and society where to be a bastard is to be an outcast and to love a black man is unacceptable, Sarah tries to find meaning to her life and hope for a forbidden love.
