Author Lonnie Speck's New Book, 'Sara', is the Thrilling Tale of a Young Black Girl Growing Up in the Throngs of Racism in the South
Dec 21, 2021
Lonnie Speck, a Military Veteran and advocate for Black Lives has completed his new book, "Sara": a thrilling tale of a young girl growing up in the deep south.
Speck shares, "Sara loved growing up in the Mississippi Delta. She loved the people, and living in the country had a peaceful, easy feeling. Being a single parent, her daddy had to raise her. He taught her everything about survival in the Delta.
Her serenity was shattered when the Lambert boys came calling. She saw two feet swing off the ground then a shotgun blast. She knew she had to run to save her life. If she could just make it to the train depot, maybe she could escape. As she ran, she could hear the Lambert boys' hound dogs in the distance. When she got to the train, she tried to get into an open box car, but she was exhausted and too short. As the train started to move, she fell face down in the gravel that ran along the tracks. She heard the hounds getting closer; she screamed, "God please help me!" then someone grabbed her from behind."
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Lonnie Speck's new book sheds a light on the trials and tribulations of young Black girls of the south and will leave readers on the edge of their seats as they follow Sara's compelling journey.
Readers can purchase "Sara" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
