A Daughter of the Confederacy is a blend of genres and is more than a novel-it is Lauraine White's inheritance, her reckoning, and her prophetic offering to a nation still haunted by its past. In the deep heart of Alabama, where magnolias bloom beside monuments to a broken history, her family's story took root.

A Daughter of the Confederacy is a blend of genres and is more than a novel-it is Lauraine White's inheritance, her reckoning, and her prophetic offering to a nation still haunted by its past. In the deep heart of Alabama, where magnolias bloom beside monuments to a broken history, her family's story took root. Hilliard, the white son of a Confederate plantation owner, and Emma, the enslaved Black woman whose spirit refused to bow, are not distant figures of fiction. They are part of Lauraine's bloodline, and through their forbidden love, she confronts the very fractures America has tried to forget. Set in Letohatchee, Alabama, against the backdrop of the American South's deepest wounds, the story follows Hilliard and Emma as they defy the chains meant to divide them. Their love is not only forbidden-it is a disruption in flesh and spirit, and a defiance of the South's vow to preserve slavery and silence. Through their union, Lauraine traces the inheritance of wounds and the promise of redemption, reminding us that the ties that bind us are stronger than the lies that divide us. But this is not only a love story. It is a prophetic excavation of American identity-rooted in blood, haunted by memory, and crying out for justice. As the ghosts of the Confederacy stir, Lauraine interweaves fiction with ancestral fact, reanimating voices long silenced. Her prose calls out the lies of Southern nostalgia, confronts the legacies of racism, and declares that freedom and truth are not myths but mandates. A Daughter of the Confederacy is a tribute to the resilience of love, the sacredness of truth, and the power of remembrance. It is not just a book-it is a reckoning, a call to witness, and a call to heal. It is also a Declaration for Reparations from the United States of America, state and local governments, corporations, churches, and private individuals who have profited from slavery and its aftermath. Perfect for readers of historical fiction, prophetic memoir, and truth-telling narratives, A Daughter of the Confederacy reframes America's story from the inside out-through the bloodline of one family and the cry of a nation still wrestling with redemption.
