Black Pearls of Raven's Way


Book Description

A Look at Black Pearls of Raven's Way by A. C. Townsend The mansion called Raven's Way stood drenched in the morning dew. A veil clings to the massive structure like a comforting blanket. The edifice wears a crooked smile for the world, yet the worn path to her front door has been trodden down with decades of loneliness, deceit, and discord! The fortune of Raven's Way began with gold that was covered with the blood of innocent life. Would an heir rise up and put an end to the curse? Would true love ever come to the Raven's Way Mansion? Someone had to balance the scales of justice. Far too many years had gone by and far too many sins had been covered up. A person should never be judged by the color of their skin. All life has value, and all men are created equal. To live in peace with humanity is to walk beside God. To see things any other way can cause a domino effect, bringing down people and nations.
