New Fiction Book Discusses the Dangers of Whitewashing History
Author Kyle J.E. Miller, provides a new perspective on the course of American history
BALTIMORE, Md. , April 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- New laws or directives now govern how historical racial issues can be taught in 13 different U.S. states.
In "Time Maiden," Kyle J.E. Miller provides a young adult fiction book about a society who refuses to teach actual history, replacing it with a sanitized, white-washed version of history, and a girl who challenges that orthodoxy.
"Society continues to try to rewrite history," Miller said. "The ultimate message of this book is that we must learn from the past so that it does not repeat itself."
The story takes place in Baltimore, Md., centering around main character, Lindsey, an orphan. She is struggling with school and failing her history class, she knows a secret: the history being taught in school is wrong. On the run, Lindsey comes across the Resistance, who fights to preserve the truth behind the history in America. Lindsey accepts the challenge.
"History is not black and white," Miller said. "It is painful, but we must learn about it."
Miller's inspiration for this book was sparked by a personal experience. He was traveling to Baltimore with his niece and thought, "How will she learn history?"
"History shapes us with who we are," said Miller, "both with what our ancestors did and what we do, in our current lives."
