Question for you. What is Heart? Is it compassion? Courage? Determination?
...Myles to Go, Book Three - Lessons and Truths, like its' predecessors, ...Myles to Go and Myles to Go, Beginnings explores how 'Heart' in its many forms affects the lives of Jacob Myles and family and friends. ...Myles to Go, Book Three - Lessons and Truths continues the story of Brittany 'Cookie' Abernathy and Robert 'Bobby' Matthews and their quest for happiness in a world that frowns on their forbidden love. Book Three - Lessons and Truths also focuses on a young girl's determination to use any means necessary to become a member of her school's cheerleading squad; a Vietnam veteran's courage to battle his demons; Savannah Myles' unwavering spirit to keep her ancestors' legacies alive; the compassion of a young husband in his quest to renew the love of his sick young wife; a black man's defense of a Northern family harassed by Southern bigots; and the courage to let go of the love of your life for his/her own happiness. Lessons and Truths also introduces new characters: a beloved relative who re-enters the life of Carmen Hamilton; a classmate/nemesis who hampers Savannah's efforts to enhance her school curriculum; a love interest for a hesitant and fearful Jocelyn Myles; Jacob Myles' acerbic mother-in-law; and a World War II vet who remains perennially sunny despite his disabilities.
Like ...Myles to Go and ...Myles to Go, Book Two - Beginnings, ...Myles to Go, Book Three - Lessons and Truths provide a stepping stone to a myriad of topics: the horrors of war and its effects on returning soldiers; the scourge of performance drugs in the schools; postpartum depression and the complexities of childbirth; African American males' aversion to therapy; the black man's role in the military, interracial relationships, emotional baggage and so much more. All three novels show how issues of the past are deeply ingrained in our souls even today, and how African-Americans learn to live with them. Educators have used Book One in the classroom setting and have added it to their school curriculum. There are over three hundred historical and cultural references in all three novels - enough for a year's worth of lesson plans. It's sure to spark honest and open dialogue between educator and student.
...Myles to Go, ...Myles to Go, Book Two - Beginnings and ...Myles to Go, Book Three - Lessons and Truths. It is the author's belief that you, the reader will definitely be able to relate to the stories herein and see someone you know. If not yourself.
