When the Sun Comes Back Rebekah Colburn

Natalie and Tony's story continues as they begin their married life together and upset the social order of things on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the late 1960s. A white woman and a black man whose family connections go back generations, they are determined to persevere in the face of disapproval and prejudice to be a force of change, bringing the community together in racial unity. Five generations earlier, Eliza Winslow was the mistress of Dogwood Hall and the wife of a slaveholder in a time when women held few rights and no power. No one knows exactly what happened the night her husband was murdered, only that he was found dead and two of their slaves were never seen again. The past and present interweave in this fascinating tale of two women living in the same place a hundred and twenty years apart, facing challenges that were vastly different, yet rooted in the same questions of human equality.
