Ma Lil, a story that I have written, will be available soon for download. It is planned to be available before the end of the month. Ma Lil is a thought provoking fictional story which spans 97 years. It is a rare glimpse into a century of turmoil and struggle as experienced by this fictional African - American family. Lil, the main character, is born a few weeks before the end of slavery. She marries at sixteen and lives in a small town working with her family as a sharecropper. When she marries she moves to the edge of town . After three years of marriage her husband is killed by the Klan. Lil eventually remarries and raises a daughter, Alexandria Mae. Mae and her second husband have four children.
This family is tested by adversity. The civil rights movement, a shooting incident during a nonviolent civil rights protest, life threatening illness and so much more. Through it all they grow stronger together while fighting for the right to live their dreams.
