First Scribe Books is pleased to announce its latest offering, a lost classic ready to be rediscovered by those it was written for. The back cover synopsis is as follows:
A newborn is mysteriously left at the doorstep of a poor Southern widow who takes him in with no knowledge of his background. With a complexion that could qualify him as “white,” the child, named Jim, is raised in the Black community, though those close to him wonder of his true genealogy.
Exceptional amongst his peers and schooled in the North as a young man, Jim returns home the pride and joy of his town, mesmerizing audiences with his oratory capabilities. As Jim’s reception by the locals grows, jealousy ensues from a doctor and a preacher who both make a sinister pact to tarnish his upstanding character by spreading lies about Jim’s family history and about the reasons behind his abandonment. More questions arise with the appearance of a mysterious man and the delivery of a letter that holds several clues about Jim, but with no definite answers.
Continuously approached to respond to the slanderous allegations, and himself at odds with who he really is, Jim’s future lies at stake, as he searches to prove his racial affiliation in order to save his honor, his reputation, and the love of his life.
