Under the Cypress Moon

A sprawling 33 chapter dark romantic epic; a story of interracial love and friendship, of gains and losses, of death and the triumph of the human spirit to overcome all obstacles:

The Crady family, the wealthiest in the region, once owned the Jones family, of which the Kings are a part. Generations later, Mark Crady and T.L. King have been friends longer than either of them can remember. Once Mark falls in love with T.L.'s little sister, Shylah, he is unsure of how to proceed. He does not know whether his friendship can be sustained through the sudden and drastic change of taking on his new found quest of love while juggling the impending death of his bigoted father and keeping alive the family business that provides the livelihoods of many, including his best friend and his best friend's father and uncle.
