1915. A prostitute and a businessman find love. And hate.

NATE AND KELLY is a love story from a century ago, about today.

The novel has a strong, interesting narrative structure. It is an interesting combination of fiction and non-fiction that works well with both the broad subjects of historical significance and its very specific, illuminating love story. The novel reveals truths about our society that prevail especially today, truths about fear, racism, demagoguery, and attacks on the human spirit. It stands up and shouts that love can survive.

A century ago … after slavery, and in the middle of Jim Crow.
