In spite of her lightest, light skin, Zarah  zealously broadcasts she's "the blackest black chick anyone could ever meet." Proud of her race and heritage, Silver Currents of Change explores the life of a young, stunningly beautiful college student and the fears she has to rise above or burn to the ground when she crosses the racial divide by falling in love with a white man. So, how did it happen? 

After growing up with an attitude toward whites passed down from her two black parents-children of the 1960s Deep South, Zarah is a strong black woman who bases her racial identity on being proudly "pro black" and "anti-white supremacy." Her  lifelong dream of working in magazine publishing, in Mississippi, means she has to start out working for a white-owned publishing company. Her dream is to one day start her own company, but she knows she has a lot to learn before she's ready to do that. Since she wants to stay in  Mississippi after earning her last college degree, she decides she'll just have to put aside her personal crusade against white supremacy and not challenge the status quo, at least long enough to learn what she needs to learn. But, when she meets the non-conformist owner of Wilson Publishing, he's different from what she expected, and she accepts an internship opportunity at his company that quickly leads to career success. A man of some mystery who comes with a few big secrets, the attraction between the Intern and the publisher is so strong, it leads to her falling in love with the last man on Earth she ever expected to fall for. On the one hand, her new romance seems to be the best thing that ever happened to her. But on the other hand, it poses so many obstacles to everlasting happiness, she has to question whether love she thought she'd found could ever survive.

This novel is part two of the love story started in my first novel, Silver Currents of Change. In Gold, Fire & Refinement, the second part of the journey, Journalist Zarah Brion must prove to herself and others that love is stronger than hate. But is she right? Can love conquer all? Everything in Zarah's life seems to be falling into the right places. The young, successful magazine editor and journalist who, despite her looks, believes she's the blackest black chick anyone could ever meet-is engaged to Harvey Evan Wilson, a white man who happens to be the richest man in Mississippi. The state's first multi-billionaire, Harvey owns the publishing company where Zarah's publishing and journalistic skills lit her meteoric rise to becoming one of his most productive, most treasured employees. Just months before their wedding, her fiancé's maternal grandmother, a woman vehemently opposed to her grandson marrying a black woman, decides to take matters into her own hands. Bettina Beauregard McNeese works hard and fiercely to end Zarah and Harvey's relationship, to protect her family's bloodline and their fortune. Amidst Wilson family drama, Zarah has her hands full covering what could prove to be the biggest news story of the decade-the unearthing of the long-buried truth about what happened to part of a shipment of Confederate gold bars that have been missing since the Civil War. With her story at center stage in the public spotlight, Zarah becomes the target of people intent on seeing her romance go up in flames. Gold, Fire & Refinement pits a smart and beautiful young woman against a mix of struggles, including family vs. family, past vs. present, and desires of faith vs. desires of the flesh. As forces collide, Zarah is left with difficult but inevitable choices. Will the love between her and her fiancé prove to be stronger than the intentions of those set on destroying it? Or will the deliberate and malevolent actions of others finally tear them apart?
