A Darker Shade

Set in the fictional era between 1940-1960, Eunice, Delaware is the first city in the US to push toward a life of unity and equality amongst its black and white citizen. But with its long history of racial hate crimes and the years of tension looming in the minds of an older generation, that vision seems evidently impossible. Yet, this story follows the forbidden love between Miss Connie May Jeffrey, the daughter of a black activist, and Mr. Christopher Johnson, the heir to a law firm, as they struggle with the reality of being an interracial couple in a segregated society.
