- About Me:
- I am a freelance writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, EContent Magazine, and Streaming Media, among other print and online publications. My first novel of historical fiction, The Second Mrs. Douglass, is currently under editorial consideration.
About the book:
In a year when a biracial man and a white woman vie for the presidential nomination, Americans are inevitably focused on our stormy history of racial and gender politics. Nearly 125 years ago, not long after the Civil War, famed biracial abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass caused an uproar in black and white communities alike when he married a white woman twenty years his junior. In the meticulously researched novel THE SECOND MRS. DOUGLASS, San Francisco Chronicle writer Nancy Davis Kho gives us the compelling first-person narrative of Helen Pitts Douglass, daughter of ardent abolitionists—a girl whose home was a station on the Underground Railway, a young woman who was deeply committed to the crusade for racial equality, and a grown woman who defied overwhelming social taboos and the opposition of family and friends in order to claim a life of passionate devotion and marriage to the man she loved and whose legacy and work she protected fervently for the rest of her life.

I read the synopsis for your book. It sounds fantastic. If it finds publication, please let me know. I'd be happy to announce it in Stepping Stones Magazine.
