The Great And The Narrow: A Novel
Though slavery wasn't all that prosperous in 1840's West Virginia, parts of the eastern state, mainly Orchestra Valley, was one of two sections with a concentrated slave population. Kurough county, in particular, became home to Morthauller Colonial, the largest slaveholder of African-American planters, harvesters, and domestics in seven nearby counties.
In 1851, the Morthauller overseer acquired a western moving group of travelers and pushed them into occupation unwittingly capturing a Weaver, a woman of Old blood capable of psionically cultivating plant life at will.
When the overseer discovered the Weaver's ability, she was forced into a mutualistic relationship with the land, granting spontaneous growth and extended life to an agricultural region of the Appalachians, which later became known as Eighteen Oaks.
Fast-forward to the 1970s, Bahiya Raincrow, a 20-something-year-old woman, and her family live in a secluded mountain town, where she is due to receive the "babble" from her American Native grandmother, which is then to be used as a way to push back the diseases of the Old World.
After their town is overrun by a blind-drunk militaristic group, a horrible turn of events separates Bahiya from her parents. She then walks across a dying valley towards the one person with all the answers, leaving the fate of West Virginia hanging from the end of a fraying thread.
The Great And The Narrow is a gripping Black & African-American Science Fiction novel based on the exploitation of a West Virginian mountain community. Enjoy the first book and prepare for its continuation coming later this summer.
