@lavatoz I understand. I too wouldn't want a romanticised version but a more realistic perspective of that times. It's why I like your book. Essie is careful but can't deny her feelings. She is still aware of her place which is the realistic aspect. Yes, it's great to add scenes where allies are present. I'd like to see how that unfolds in your story. . Also, thank you for replying and I'm glad you're doing well. ☺

@lavatoz Hi love, I'm doing well during these challenging times. During the quarantine I've been working on an update but after the horrific killing of George Floyd and the resulting protests and discussions on race and the many injustices heaped upon black people for years, I found it difficult to continue to write this story considering its overarching theme of slavery. I dont want to feed into the romanticizing of such a horrible period in our history but I also do not want to abandon a book that I have written and has found a special place in the hearts of many. So I am taking this time to think about the chapters i had planned and how i can use those to highlight the injustices experienced but still give my readers what they wanted. I want this book to both expose the horrors of slavery but still highlight that even then there were allies, who did not support it as we see displayed in our marches and rallies today where both black and white march together for change. But to put your hearts at ease, I am working on updates and have not abandoned this story at all. Thanks for reaching out and I hope that you and yours are also safe and healthy during these challenging times.
