Sunrise: A Novelette
by Taylor Dye
On Sale: Sep 16, 2024
Genre: Literary, African American History, Civil Rights Movement
Format: eBook
Inspired by the Norman Rockwell masterpiece, The Problem We All Live With, Taylor Dye shines a spotlight on the children tasked with blazing a trail for an entire nation, and the federal officers entrusted with fulfilling that nation’s promise: equality, liberty, and justice for all…
Spencer Hawes, a white Deputy United States Marshal, wakes up in an unfamiliar town, having been tasked with what is, for him, an uncomfortable assignment: ensuring a black student is permitted entry into an all-white school, by any means necessary.
Meanwhile, across town, a five year old black girl named Jasmine Greene, surrounded by a supportive but wary family, is excited for her first day of school…not realizing her day will be recorded forever in the annals of American history.
What happens when an officer not fully supportive of his assignment meets an innocent little girl of a different race who has no idea of the history—and danger—she is stepping into?
This is Sunrise. In America, a new day is dawning.
