Juneteenth, the Beginning to the End

New York, December 1870.
Aldric and Dinah flee the weight of plantations and Southern grudges to build a new life.
They believe they have found a refuge, a home, a future.
But hatred travels faster than love, and the anonymous letters grow ever more threatening.
When the flames rise, an entire world collapses: that of a man consumed by silence and a woman whose gentleness could not soften the violence of men.

This book is not merely a story of pain — it is memory itself.
The memory of Juneteenth, June 19, 1865 — the day freedom was proclaimed in USA.
Yet that delayed freedom already bore scars, for the Ku Klux Klan and other forces of hatred were rising in the shadows.
Through Aldric and Dinah’s story, this novel reminds us that every individual tragedy bears witness to a systemic violence that has never truly disappeared.
