Why I Wrote This Book
The seed for this story was planted when I was a young girl working at Dun and Bradstreet in Los Angeles. The year was 1973. The Civil Rights Bill had been signed several years before, but repercussions still existed in the United States, in some states more severely than others.
The office building was located across from Westlake/MacArthur Park. Many of us would stroll through the grounds at break and lunch to get fresh air and chat.
I noticed two people always together, holding hands, whispering, staying by themselves. He was a tall, studious-looking fellow with blonde hair, eyeglasses, and well-dressed. She was a beautiful girl, I imagined Creole, her lovely tresses cascading down her back. They were an amazing couple.
One day, I asked one of my workplace friends who they were. “Oh, that’s so and so and his wife (names omitted for privacy). They’re Credit Reporters. They’re from the South. They moved to California because they faced discrimination, and they felt their relationship would be accepted here.”
I marveled at their courage. I saw how deeply they loved each other.
I never forgot them, and so I created a story about them and what they might have suffered in their quest to find a better life. Only love can do that.
May it be an inspiration to those who have fought hard for love and long for its resolution.
