Book Description

Every great family story has an equally great beginning. And behind every great family stands a great matriarch. Meet Regina Bridges, descendant of African slaves Kitwana and Hamida Ruth, carrier of the torch of righteousness for her family. Follow the lineage of the Ruth family as it intertwines and overlaps with the Bridges family through history as we discover the simple yet profound beginnings of this colorful family and the legacy of the Keepers. Regina, Book 3 in The Chronicles of the Sons of None, introduces us to another immortal creature, Ely, who appears to Regina as an elderly man with hair as white as Father Christmas and sparkling green eyes that thinly veil countless untold secrets and not a little mischief. His timely appearance in Regina's life echoes a recurrent theme of divine interaction throughout the history of the Ruth family, beginning with the African patriarch, Kitwana, before his capture by slave traders in the 1800s. Regina encounters Ely for the first time while in the beginning throes of her struggles with the death of her daughter, Marie. While she desperately wants to believe that Ely has come to help her through that process, her hopes are temporarily crushed when the ancient soul steadfastly refuses to shed more light on the tragic event that ripped Marie out of Regina's life. Ely instead lovingly coaxes her to look beyond her grief and set her heart on God's eternal plan for her family. Regina continues the theme of seamless interaction between the temporal and eternal that began in Book One of The Chronicles of the Sons of None. "
