The Sleeping Night
by Barbara Samuel

An unforgettable romance in an unforgiving time.

They’ll need love and courage to see the dawn.

He’s a hometown native, returning from the war, determined to change the world he'd fought to protect. She’s the girl who’s been his secret friend since childhood, now a beautiful woman. Her war-time letters kept him alive. But he’s black, and she’s white.

In 1946 in Gideon, Texas, their undeniable love might get them both killed.
