Homesteader
In Homesteader, we follow the poignant journey of Jean Baptiste, an African-American homesteader in the rugged Dakotas. When he meets the captivating Agnes, love blossoms, but societal constraints prevent their union due to her presumed race. Instead, Jean marries Orlean, the daughter of a black preacher, a decision that leads to unforeseen family turmoil and tragedy. As he returns to his homestead, Jean unexpectedly reunites with Agnes, uncovering the secrets of her past that ultimately shape their destinies. This semi-autobiographical novel unfolds a rich tapestry of love, loss, and resilience. (Summary by Lynda Marie Neilson)
