Recent release "The Burden of Prejudice" from Page Publishing author Linda Rockwell Dalman is an evocative and uniquely American story centered on a poor Southern family and the enduring legacy of classism, division, and bigotry in America.
BEULAH, Mich., Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Linda Rockwell Dalman, a longtime writer, storyteller, and great-grandmother who enjoys horses, cooking, gardening, and reading at home in a small village in northern Michigan, which she shares with her husband, Greg, and their Rottweiler, Lily, has completed her new book "The Burden of Prejudice": a compelling work of period fiction and a powerful message of transformation and hope.
Adelle could not tolerate her eldest daughter. This created a feeling of antipathy between Nina Faye and her sisters. Sadly, Adelle had no concept of the damage she created among her daughters. She suffered from depression, a disease that was misunderstood in her time. She spent much of her time in bed or in her daydreams.
In Arkansas, Whites were against Blacks; the wealthy looked down on the poor; and the unemployed competed with the employed for the few available jobs. The South was bitter toward the North even though the War of Aggression had been over for more than sixty years.
The Southern economy was still struggling from the Great Depression when CL was offered a job in the prosperous state of Michigan. He jumped at the chance.
In Michigan, Nina Faye was surprised to find that the North harbored hostilities against the South from the Civil War. She found it hard to believe. After all, the Yankees invaded their land and destroyed their economy and their way of life.
Northerners had their own prejudices. The religious judged the heathens. The rich looked down on the poor, and the local citizens held newcomers in contempt, especially white trash from the Deep South.
Nina Faye and her siblings suffered much cruelty from the locals. They were judged for how they looked, how they talked, their poverty, and even their names. CL had never questioned the ideology of the South. It was all he'd ever known. But when he was awakened to the cruel prejudice toward his daughter, he began to question these ideals.
Is it possible to change lifelong beliefs?
This is the story of how hard times can change an outcast into a person of integrity, compassion, and forgiveness.
