Reseña del libro "Triumph: A Novel of the Human Spirit (en Inglés)"
Two friends: one Black, one White. Two families: one wealthy, one poor. A rich family saga that resonates throughout centuries of American history to illuminate some of the central questions of our time. Jodi Lea Stewart's remarkable new novel Triumph: A Novel of the Human Spirit spans the 65 years between 1903 and 1968 to dramatize who we are, how we got here, and where the better angels of our nature impel us to go. The novel's publication and release will be celebrated with an online launch event on September 23,2020.The novel's epic sweep weaves together three vivid story lines set in Louisiana, Texas, and St. Louis.It opens in 1903, when two children are displaced from their homes. One is abducted by a secretive voodoo sect; the other is presented to a former Texas Ranger as part of a life-changing plea for help. Their uncertain fates set in motion a series of events that reverberates decades later.Triumph's central story line describes the friendship between Mercy and Annie, two girls growing up in late-1950s' St. Louis. As they grow older, their friendship is tested and strengthened by their encounters with the city's simmering bigotry and tenacious legacy of segregation. As their story moves forward, the past and future begin to weigh more heavily on the present, bringing Mercy and Annie to a dramatic crossroad that casts an honest, wrenching, and hopeful light on issues we grapple with to this day. Author - Jodi Lea Stewart's remarks on the impact of her life that birthed the compelling novel of Triumph, "My theme in life and in my novels is about the triumph of the human spirit through overcoming adversity."Artfully conceived and beautifully written, Triumph is available now for pre-order.
