Epiphany Blackjack

Imagine... two teenagers in New Orleans in the early 1950’s.... Imagine... a beautiful young lady from fashionable Saint Charles Avenue, and a handsome young man from an ancient French family home on Howard Avenue.... Both have lived their young lives in varying states of isolation because of circumstances completely beyond their control. Imagine that they happen to meet.... Imagine that they become fast friends.... Imagine that fate guides them to fall madly in love with each other.... In Till The Stars Burn Out Above You, Mary Charmaine Day and Inman Emile Carnes, IV learn, early in their “Summer of Love,” that their families have “history.” While their mothers lovingly support their relationship, they’ll both have to deal with a maniacal, gas-lighting psychopath, hell-bent on destroying their relationship. The historical, epic, book series, We May Never Pass This Way Again explores how Human Beings interact, and react to both love and to hatred. True loves develop, but are severely challenged. Lives are changed. Will true love survive and find a way? ...or will supremely evil forces triumph, and destroy true love?
