Published Posthumously, New Book is Moving Testament to the Power of God's Love

Author Samuel L. Jones honors the difficulty of his parents' migration from the segregated South to the seemingly liberal North in Cool Water.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) February 6, 2008 -- Edited by the author's daughter, Cool Water by Samuel L. Jones is a slightly biographical portrayal of the plight of black people in America during the 1920s-1930s.

Cool Water recounts a time where social injustice was an everyday occurrence. Despite advancements on the civil rights front, blacks were still generally treated with disdain. The author vividly details the merciless treatment imparted on blacks during this time in history.

In Cool Water, the book's protagonist, Ira, attempts to transcend discrimination and oppression by fleeing the South, escaping to the North for his very life. Unfortunately, Ira discovers that prejudices know no boundaries. The book reveals the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of one man, highlighting his determination to overcome adversity for his family and his people.

In addition to being a powerful novel about racial inequality, the book is also a love story, a tale of enduring love between a man and his wife. An inspiring narrative, Cool Water implores readers to discover the blessing of replacing hatred with God's love.
