A DREAM OF DARING and Life Under a Master Then and Now
The first half is about my novel of the Old South, A Dream of Daring. The winner of six literary awards, including a Foreword Book of the Year and Eric Hoffer Legacy Fiction Finalist, A Dream of Daring delves deeply into the conflicts of the period that still plague the world today—the clash between progress and control, between freedom and servitude, between the creative human spirit and the forces that work to suppress it—giving the story a relevance and immediacy in our own time.
In the second half of the talk, I discuss the findings of my research: the 10 eerie parallels I found between the freedom-stifling climate of the Old South and the threats to liberty that we face today.
I hope you find it informative.
