Two friends of different races. Two families of vast economical differences. This rich multi-generational saga resonates throughout decades of American history, illuminating many central questions still grappled with today. Jodi Lea Stewart's remarkable novel Triumph: A Novel of the Human Spirit spans the 65 years between 1903 and 1968 to dramatize who we are, how we got here, and where the better angels of our nature impel us to go. The novel's epic sweep weaves together three vivid storylines set in Louisiana, Texas, and St. Louis. Opening in 1903, two children are displaced from their homes. One is abducted by a secretive voodoo sect; the other is presented to a former Texas Ranger as part of a desperate plea for help. Their uncertain fates set in motion electrifying events that reverberate decades later. Artfully conceived and beautifully written, Triumph, a Novel of the Human Spirit is the cornerstone of hope for a better tomorrow.
