Overview

When the winds of change confront you, adjust your sails.

In the year 2032, Black Americans have a choice: stay and suffer or leave to find a better life. The question is where can they go so that this country can be their kind of country, one where they are truly free of oppression and tyranny. Can they still be "American" in this new land and bring the worst of America with them; the America they grew up under with psychological shackles from decades of abuse and second-class citizenship; to constantly have their dreams deferred?

Follow the assignment of a man and his wife to discover such a place, to see if they can be welcomed as people worthy of dignity and respect or will they find the Paradise Lost there instead?

About the Author

Donny Short, born in Washington, DC, raised in Pittsburgh, now living in Maryland, has long wanted to publish a story that came to him over twenty years ago. Although he has a penchant for writing, he never considered writing a novel about anything. Blogs, yes; Novels, no. But, this idea has been with him for years and it ate at his heart that he should not leave this story unwritten.

This is his first published work. He dedicates it to his father, Frederick Henry Washington, aka "Fritz," a pioneer in the civil rights movement in St. Peterburg, Florida where he organized boycotts to integrate the movie theaters at the same time that Martin Luther King, Jr. was working in Alabama.

His determination to see justice prevail is a vital underpinning to this project.
