Through the Cotton Blooms
In a setting thick with abuse, torment and incipient hope, Eileen is torn between
the need to find love and affection and keeping herself safe from the agony of
her husband. As she rediscovers herself, she finds friendship and love that
molds her into a stronger woman, leaving her past behind.
In 1962 Georgia, Eileen is a young adult eager for adventure rather than
conformity. Her life changes when she is forced to marry the mayor, what she
calls a political transaction, in order to save the family business. Torture and
despair fills her life until a black woman, rich with compassion and love, moves
in next door. They build a forbidden friendship full of kindness, support and
laughter. Through a series of events, Eileen finds true love that seems doomed
because of her marriage. Though she vows to keep faithful, the overwhelming
attraction between the two is apparent. Their sensual desires are explored
leaving her desperate to escape her husband’s wrath.
