Description
by Linda Lowe Erley (Author)
Have you ever looked back on your childhood and realized your world carried so much more than you saw at the time? This is the heart of Rainbow Over the Bayou: Jim Crow Through the Eyes of a White Girl-a historical fiction inspired by the author's Louisiana upbringing and told through dual timelines of 1960 and the present day. You will be transported to Southern Louisiana, where the tranquil beauty of the bayou contrasts with the horrific injustices of Jim Crow, whose echoes still reverberate today.
In this dark chapter of our nation's history, God's hand brings together two opposite worlds: Mimi, a young white girl, and Willa Mae, the beloved Black maid who works for her family. Through the eyes of a child-now remembered by the woman she has become-Mimi realizes there was much she saw, yet did not see.
Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, you'll be drawn into the harsh realities of segregation, yet also witness the strength of faith and the resilience of the human spirit.
This story invites you to wrestle with the echoes of America's past and discover-even amid history's shadows-God's love and light, His redeeming power, and the enduring hope of a more just and reconciled future.
