Honey Lump a riveting story of love Redemption
Honey Lump
Honey Lump is a historical fiction that transverses America's social landscape from Jim Crow to the Great Migration of blacks from the rural south to the industrial north. The central character Honey Lump deals with the timeless issues of independence, freedom, love and duty. Most of the story is set on the Mississippi, Delta in the small town of Clarksdale. It begins during a time when Blues was in its infancy, expressing the raw pain and frustration of blacks in the rural south. The novel continues with the music as its backdrop. The rhythms shake the moral foundation of a nation within a nation to the great cities of New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago and New York. She learns the greatest of life’s lessons through travels and mistakes. As Honey becomes entangled in relationships based on selfish gain and mutual understandings, she finds in the end that altruistic love is not defined by rules, bound by boundaries or controlled by logic. Honey discovers the lesson that all souls are sent here to learn; selfless compassion of all that is unconditional, is the gift and blessing which brings us closer to our purpose.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
