Thanks to Summerside Press for sending me this advanced copy of "The Loom".  In the South as I know very well as I am from SC, born and raised here, before the civil war the rich plantation owner has slaves to run the farms for them.  Some was good to them and as always some had to show who the boss was.  But when the slaves got too old to work in the fields the owners would send them to the mills to work with the looms that make the cotton fabric. 
Lydia was a light skined house slave and was overlooked somtime, and she had fallen in love with one of the field slaves and even trid to run off but was always found and brought back.  She wanted her freedom so bad that she agreed to marry a white plantation owner. 

Now in the south we see the whites and blacks married and think that this should not be, but God does not look at the color of our skin but the way we see Him in our hearts.

A good book written by Shella Gillus, so pick up a copy should have been out by the first of Dec. and read this interesting story.
