"Sapphire" takes the reader on a journey through time from a bird's eye view. This is a story based on true events of a family's emigration from North Dakota to New York to Joplin, MO and Tulsa, OK, ending in the small mining town of Wallace, Idaho [Burke, ID]. The novel is full of roller-coaster events and emotion, suspending the reader for a part II story and the history of Wallace, Idaho.
"Sapphire" is a novel style inspired by renowned African-American novelist, Toni Morrison and her novels "Love" and "Home." Sapphire herself, struggles with truth, temptation, and toil leaving the reader on a quest to find the narrator's voice. "Sapphire" is a journey within a journey. The setting is late Nineteenth Century to modern day. This is the first of a two-part collection, true and historical events mashed with fiction. "Sapphire" is a must read for the Twenty-first Century.
