Something Happened on the Way to Heaven: A Family Saga

By David Standard

Murder, madness and mayhem . . . but every family has its problems. And every child wants to grow up in a home surrounded by loving parents and family; people who will protect and guide them and see them to adulthood, where they can create a family of their own. Sadie Palmer, her sister, Maxine, and their cousin, Lara Mae were no different: three little girls each hoping to find the man of their dreams to share and build a life with. But being black, poor, and growing up in the segregated south of rural Virginia in the early decades of the 20th Century, life is seldom what you expect and hope for, and youthful dreams can all too often become adult nightmares. With lives centered around family, church, and faith, there was little they thought could not be overcome, however, they each discover that life is never quite that simple. But they find, time and again, that when things go horribly wrong, when they lose their way, and in their darkest hours, there is still hope; there is still love, and there is still . . . redemption.
