MESA, Ariz., Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Two friends—one Black, one White. Two families—one wealthy, one poor. A rich family saga that resonates throughout centuries of American history to illuminate some of the central questions of our time.
Jodi Lea Stewart’s remarkable new novel, Triumph: A Novel of the Human Spirit, tromps you through the Louisiana swamps, in and out of bustling New Orleans, across the Texas prairies, and into the city streets of innovative but troubled St. Louis in the early and mid-twentieth century.
Opening in 1903, two children are displaced from their homes. One is abducted by a secretive voodoo sect; the other is presented to a former Texas Ranger as part of a life-changing plea for help. Their uncertain fates set in motion a series of events that reverberates decades later.
Triumph‘s central storyline describes the friendship between Mercy and Annie, two girls growing up in late-1950s St. Louis. As they grow older, their friendship is tested and strengthened by their encounters with the city’s simmering bigotry and tenacious legacy of segregation.
If you enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing or To Kill a Mockingbird, you will love TRIUMPH, a Novel of the Human Spirit. It dramatizes who we are, how we got here, and where the better angels of our nature impel us to go. The novel’s publication and release will be celebrated with an online launch event September 23, 2020, 7 pm CST.
Artfully conceived and beautifully written, Triumph is available now. To order, or to learn about Triumph‘s September 23rd Online Book Launch Event, please visit https://jodileastewart.com/.
