Minnie Buford, an African American woman, finds herself pulled between the need for respectability and her love for James, who is white. They live in the Apple Hill area of Tennessee near Pulaski when the Ku Klux Klan is instilling terror in the populace. Minnie's relationship with Henry, a man of African descent, proves to be as complicated as her affair with James. The story provides a courageous example of life during the Jim Crow era of the United States of America.
For the Love of Minnie is a moving historical novel about a woman of quiet strength in the early 1900s South. From the farmlands near Pulaski, Tennessee, to the shores of Galveston during the 1900 storm, Minnie's life is shaped by hardship, love, and resilience. A tireless worker, Minnie overcomes an early traumatic assault to rear seven children and build a life rooted in perseverance.
