Nine O'Clock Blue

Nine O'Clock Blue
By Teresa Henkle Langness

Nine OClock Blue tells the lyrical but gripping tale of a man haunted by his past and a young girl, Delia May Burris, whose family battles the racism of the pre-civil rights South. Delia confronts her childhood trauma again as an adult during the 1992 Los Angeles civil unrest. She seeks solutions in the wilderness and stumbles into an environmental controversy. One surprising turn of events after another brings her face-to-face with her nemesis. Mystery, history and a touch of magic realism bring this poignant story to life.

Teresa Henkle Langness, a seasoned professional writer and an author in several genres, based this first novel on her observations in a neighborhood at the heart of the LA civil unrest. Her background in environmental writing and poetry contributed to the tone of the novel. While writing it, she also started a community project similar to the one the author develops at the end of the novel, which is currently growing into a nationwide program. Teresa Henkle was listed in several Marquis Who's Who volumes, has won several writing awards and is the founder of several educational, human relations or community development programs.
