DENVER - s4story -- Ms. Lawrence weaves the story of a mixed-race girl growing up in civil-rights-era Kentucky, where intraracial racism proliferates, and a long-ago murder still haunts the town. "Intraracial racism wasn't often spoken about during the 60s," Donna says. "Colorism, as it's called, is a thing that seems to have grown with time. Exploring how this issue shapes the growth and nature of a young girl of mixed race was an intriguing aspect to explore. Added to this story is the resilience one develops when confronting fears in the face of evil."

In Miss Virginia and the Sweet Sisters, we are immersed in the world of Kentucky bluegrass horse country, coming-of-age wonders, and the mysteries of life experienced by a young girl, Lindsey Hollis. The backdrop of murder and the seedy side of small-town life heightens the suspense interwoven with the racial tension of the late 1960s Kentucky South. Will Lindsey find the courage to persevere and save herself and her friends before the killer strikes again?

"I hope the message this story imparts resonates with today's readers. Yes, it is a time-worn story of acceptance, but one that harkens back to values we seem to have lost along the way, especially today." Donna continues, "In this raw, gritty, authentic, and heartwarming tale lies a timely message I believe needs to be told. After reading it, I hope others will feel the same way."
