Meet Charlotte Atkins. She is an independent, headstrong, young woman who knows what she wants. She happens to fall in love with her neighbor who is white. This would be alright if it wasn't the 1960's and also illegal in most southern states. This is a work of historical fiction. All characters and events in this novel are either fictitious or used fictitiously. I've tried to use as much fact as I have used fiction, and this story is currently a work in progress.

It is said that "love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen." -Corinthians 13:7-10. This is the type of love that both George and Alama would be blessed with knowing. However, just like the bible the year 1950 in Alabama didn't include that love knows no color. With George being white and Alma being black this is a love that should have never occurred. Will this love be strong enough to bridge a gap-filling a divide of the nation or will they see that they are meant to be divided.

Jacqueline Marie Johnson is an African American 16 year old girl living in the 1960's. She keeps up with the latest fashion trends and the hot new music and culture. She usually obeys all of the rules until it comes to civil rights, she's a straightforward activist who will do anything to ensure her rights as a human. Her heart beats for marches, protests and anything else that will bring the "white man" down a size. Tyler James Monroe on the otherhand is the complete opposite. Being born of White and African American decendent makes him different from all of his peers. Oddly, he's popular amongst both races, and no one says a word. When it comes to Civil Rights he would rather stay out of it, considering his father is one of the most known members of the Klu Klux Klan. Two completely different teenagers, one horrible society. These two spell nothing but trouble when together, but sometimes change comes with a little trouble.
