In the bustling school year of 1962, University of Virginia nursing
student Emmaline Foster experiences the transformation and tumult
of the world walking to class. Amidst the fervor of the Civil
Rights Movement, Emmaline discovers a secret kept for a century in
her family that plunges her into a journey through time with an
unlikely ally.
When Emmaline discovers a dusty diary, she finds that it holds
the life of Grace Henry. Grace, a young woman forced to live on a
remote farm away from her family in 1861, must dance an unsettling
balance between hope and despair each day as she tries to get used
to her new life. Her diary speaks of society’s expectations,
forbidden love, and mysteries that could alter Emmaline’s family
history.
Connected by time, the two narratives soon intertwine to create
a poignant tale of two women’s struggles to find their identity,
follow their heart, and pursue truth and freedom. The novel offers
readers a cast of compelling and relatable characters who
demonstrate the soul of what it means to be human.
From book clubs to beachside reads, Beneath the Draper Moon is a
great book for readers of historical fiction and fans of stories
with multiple points of view, the forbidden love trope, and coming
of age stories.
Beneath the Draper Moon is available for purchase online at
Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. For more information about the
