What Readers Are Saying:
"It never ceases to amaze me how some authors, like Naomi Finley, can write a sensitive, realistic story in only a few pages while others will take twice as many pages to tell a similar story and not touch your heart. What a talent! The Black Knight's Tune: Ruby's Story is one of a series planned by Finley who tells us in her bio that she has "an affinity for the Deep South and its history" and is "fascinated by the resiliency of the human spirit." That resiliency is evident in the female protagonist, Ruby, born to black slave parents but separated from them while still a youngster. Beautifully written, tightly edited, and with plenty of revealing dialogue and reflection, The Black Knight's Tune will resonate in your memory long after you set the book aside. Like that famous song, "Amazing Grace", Naomi Finley has crafted this novella with amazing grace."--Readers' Favorite Now you can buy Books online in USA,UK, India and more than 100 countries.
