Where The Cottonwoods Wept

Nia was born into chains, taught that freedom was something she would never live long enough to touch. Takoda was born to the wilderness, carrying the grief of a stolen past and hunted for helping others escape bondage. When their paths cross on a Louisiana plantation during the height of slavery, two wounded souls find something they never expected: each other. But in a world built on hatred, their love becomes dangerous. Pursued through forests, rivers, and hostile towns, Nia and Takoda risk everything for a chance at freedom and a future together. As violence closes in around them, they must decide whether love is worth the cost of survival. Where the Cottonwoods Wept is a powerful historical romance about grief, sacrifice, hope, and the kind of love that refuses to die, even in the cruelest of times.
