The Secret
Life of Winnie Cox is probably going to be the most important review I write
this year. The story has left such an impression on me. It has stirred up so
many emotions in me of the brutality on humanity and how in our world often
times more than not shows merciless and evil acts. This story also portrays
courageous hearts and a will to survive in the bravest of people. Will my
review do this book justice? I hope so. My emotions for this is really beyond
words. I'm looking forward to turning this review in once I finish it.
My review will be posted at my WordPress at: www.layeredpages.com

Book description:
1910, South America. A time of racial
tension and poverty. A time where forbidden love must remain a secret.
Winnie Cox lives a privileged life of
dances and dresses on her father’s sugar cane plantation. Life is sweet in the
kingdom of sugar and Winnie along with her sister Johanna, have neither worries
nor responsibilities, they are birds of paradise, protected from the poverty in
the world around them.
But everything can change in a
heartbeat ...
When Winnie falls in love with George
Quint, the post-office boy, a ‘darkie’ from the other side, she soon finds
herself slipping into a double life. And as she withdraws from her family, she
discovers a shocking secret about those whom are closest to her. Now, more than
ever, Winnie is determined to prove her love for George, whatever price she
must pay and however tragic the consequences might be.
A breath-taking love story of two
people fighting to be together, in a world determined to break them apart.
