A Daughter of the Confederacy

A Daughter of the Confederacy is a prophetic love story-where the blood of the past seeps into the soil of the present, and love dares to bloom in the midst of slavery. Set in Letohatchee, Alabama, against the backdrop of the American South's deepest wounds, the novel follows Hilliard, the white son of a Confederate plantation owner, and Emma, an enslaved Black woman whose courage defies the boundaries meant to break her. Their union is more than forbidden-it is a reckoning in flesh and spirit, a disruption of everything the South vowed to preserve.

But this is more than a love story. It is a prophetic excavation of American identity-rooted in blood, haunted by memory, and crying out for truth. As the sins of slavery rise from the soil and the ghosts of the Confederacy stir, A Daughter of the Confederacy invites readers into the heart of a nation still grappling with its inheritance. Through lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, Lauraine White weaves fiction with ancestral fact, reanimating the voices of those long silenced. This book is a tribute to the resilience of love, the sacredness of truth, and the power of remembrance. It confronts the legacies of racism, the myth of Southern nostalgia, and the lies we've been told about freedom, family, and the price of silence.

This is not just a book-it's a reckoning, a call to witness, a call to justice, and a call to heal. It is also a Declaration for Reparations from the United States of America, local and state governments, corporations, churches, and private individuals who have benefited from the trauma inflicted on the descendants of slaves from the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

Perfect for readers of historical fiction, prophetic memoir, and stories that speak truth to power, A Daughter of the Confederacy dares to reframe the American story from the inside out.
