Synopsis
The Resurrection of Alice
A novel inspired by the countless forgotten lives of young, black girls who found themselves in arranged marriages to men that were usually community pillars, financially comfortable and old enough to be their grandfathers. Fifteen-year-old Alice looks forward to graduating from high school in 1948 (a family first) and attending college on the scholarship she has earned, but her plans are devastated when she learns that she must honor her parent’s secret marriage arrangements.
Alice is a tribute to the power of nurturing and healing that can cause a broke spirit to be reborn. The Resurrection of Alice is perfect for ages 12 and up. It’s an adventure that informs, enlightens, excites and inspires through characters that will stay with you long after their story ends.
