Love triumphs over evil as Elizabeth picking up the pieces after her heart is broken by the love of her life. Tragedy and disappointment are part and parcel of Elizabeth’s life as her “city” burns down, just like Sodom and Gomorrah. It starts with a curse on her family—her father is shot in the back as he rescues young Elizabeth from harm, their family home in Florida is seized by greedy land developers, and after Elizabeth writes a popular book, her royalties are stolen, and then she is attacked by thieves and assassins. A pattern of evil is revealed through the deaths of family members: her Caucasian mother is thrown off a horse and dies; her brother is murdered; other family members are threatened.
All through the tragedies, Elizabeth maintains faith in God, herself, her family, in the possibility of a new love that restores her trust in the goodness of humanity, and she looks forward to living in the safety of a New Jerusalem. But her trials and tribulations are not over. A person from her past returns to stir up old emotions. Will she stay with her new love, or return to the man who disappeared on her and their children years ago? Or can the three of them become friends with Elizabeth's welfare as the glue that holds them together?
From New Jersey to Florida’s picturesque Orchid Island on the Indian River Lagoon where she was born, and on to Miami where she builds a new life, Elizabeth’s story depicts one woman's strength of character, her devotion to God and family and to staying on the course to a new and fulfilling life in her personal New Jerusalem.
As part of the Black Caucasian series, New Jerusalem is based on real events from author Dorothy E. Miller’s life.
