One Day I Saw A Black King

JOHN KING WAS AN OUTCAST FROM THE DAY he was born. His teen mother died in childbirth, and his grieving grandmother, Mama Agnes, never forgave him for it. John never knew his father or the murky circumstances surrounding his birth, but he heard the whispers that floated when he came around. Finally, at the age of fifteen, after his grandmother kicks him out, he leaves home carrying his shame and a woman's death on his shoulders. Connie Rodgers was abandoned by her mother and separated from her younger sister at twelve. She eventually turned to the streets for survival. When she meets John years later, she understands him like no one else could. They've both been hiding deep scars covered up by shallow relationships. Each has survived the battles, but can they win the war of love?Mason, J. D. is the author of 'One Day I Saw A Black King', published 2004 under ISBN 9780312306199 and ISBN 0312306199.
