Blessing's Curse

Blessing's Curse: Letters from the King's Mistress is a sweeping historical novel that spans centuries, revealing a buried love story that reawakens in the modern day through the discovery of long-lost letters and diaries. When Henry Christopher, a prominent white preacher in Texas, visits Savannah, Georgia, he uncovers a hidden trunk filled with passionate letters written by Margaret Beaumont-a white Southern girl from the Revolutionary War era-to a brave young Black soldier named Henri Christophe. Their forbidden romance, forged during the 1779 Siege of Savannah, defied race, war, and societal taboos. But what stuns Henry most is that Margaret is his ancestor... and that her lover would one day become Haiti's first king.

Haunted by the past, Henry embarks on a journey to uncover his family's tangled legacy-one that links him to the Haitian Revolution, to buried generational trauma, and to a powerful spiritual reckoning. As his connection to the past deepens, so do the complications in his present life-particularly with Kelsey, a curious hotel maid with her own ties to Savannah's shadowy history, and a mysterious stalker lurking just out of sight.

Blending romance, suspense, and rich historical detail, Blessing's Curse is a powerful meditation on identity, legacy, interracial love, and the cost of unearthing truth. It is a story that asks: What happens when history refuses to stay buried?
