Black Lilac Suellen Ocean

As he stepped toward the house where Sabina lay resting, the words grew louder... black lilac... black lilac... Sabina... the sheltered black daughter of a white man, has fair skin... enough to pass for white, but she struggles with the morality of such deception, especially during the Civil War. When Samuel, a gorgeous black man she's grown up with, is not ready for her advances, she moves on to Randall Asbury, a white carpetbagger from the north, whom she scoots out of town before her identity is revealed. But is it wise to leave Samuel behind? With that gorgeous smile? After leaving... Sabina knows she must return before she commits to living a lie with Randall. But will returning home reveal her lie and ruin her chance at love?
