Diversity

Welcome to Sunday Blog Share. All month long and through December, we’re focusing on books that have a holiday of spirit as part of the Holiday of Books promotion.
Today, we’re going to be talking about diversity in relationships. Once upon a time, all around the world, couples often squashed their feelings for a person they were interested in if they weren’t the same race, religion, or social status. It was unheard of for them to follow those feelings. They faced at the least whispers about how wrong they were, or the worst condemnation from those they cared about.
The twenty-first century has seen more movement forward in people being able to be with the one they really love without a social stigma, but those relationships now owe a lot to the past. There were others who went before these new couples, fighting the hard fight, and enduring the stigma of being different. One might think that makes today’s relationships much easier to happen. One would be wrong. In every class of people, there are those who will continually put down a couple for their beliefs.
Blurb
Christmas was almost here.
Caryn O’Brien and Johnson Angel lost the music in their lives when circumstances tore them away from each other. Together, they were a talented team, but separate, all they had were empty spaces in their souls. It didn’t help that the gulf between them was being forced open even wider by the bigotry and anger that surrounded them.
They had no way of knowing that those very things, which drove them apart, would also bring them together.
Excerpt
Caryn O’Brien stood in front of the choir, at the front of her church. On Christmas Eve she would celebrate her twenty-third birthday the same way she had done it since she was seven—by singing a solo of the one holiday song that meant so much to her.She bowed her head forward, letting her copper colored hair conceal her face. It was better this way, so no one could see her excruciating pain. The source of said pain wasn’t visible. How does one show that their heart has shattered? How does a person get over the worst betrayal of their life? No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t bring her voice to the level of intensity required to make this song memorable.
