Of Courage Born is a historical novel that will transport you to the lush green countryside of northern Alabama in the early 1960s, as the southern states were struggling to emerge from their Jim Crow past and define a new existence. It was a time of change, fiery civil unrest, and of lingering bigotry, fear, and hatred from centuries past. It was a time that laid bare the chasm between the social classes, races, and even old animosities between the North and South.Now entering her last year of High School, Trewleigh Sutton is gathering her strength to choose another path beyond the borders of this small town, first by refusing to marry the charismatic young man who vies for her hand, when she meets the woman who will shape her destiny. Newly arrived from Boston, Christine Westcott assumes the role of teaching English in the high school and brings along new ideas about literature, culture, and a view of the world that captures Trewleigh's imagination as well as fortifies her spirit.Together they begin a journey that will pit them against the most violent old-south traditions, face the wrath of family, vigilantes who rail against outside influence, and murder.More than a story of small-town turbulence, Of Courage Born is a sophisticated depiction of southern history, portraying the fragile harmony of society on the verge of change, familial bonds, racial inequities, and the strain of progress. It's a potently descriptive novel of the South, and a poignant tale of a young woman's coming-of-age and revelations of her sexual identity in a time and place permeated by prejudice.With remarkable courage, Trewleigh Sutton navigates the entanglements of cultural boundaries and heartache to forge a new future in this captivating tale that explores the depths of love, hate, and boundless friendship
