Description

Josie: A True Story of Race, Rescue, and Resilience is an unforgettable work of historical fiction inspired by the extraordinary true story of Josie Evans, a Black child whose life was forever changed by an act of compassion in the heart of the Jim Crow South. Through meticulous historical research and vividly imagined scenes where history leaves unanswered questions, G. Todd Smith brings to life his powerful family story of courage, sacrifice, and hope.

Journey into a deeply divided era where one family's decision to love beyond the boundaries of race challenged the prejudices of their time and shaped generations to come. Rich with authentic heartfelt detail and unforgettable characters, Josie transports readers through the changing landscape of the American South-from the rise of Mississippi and the Great Depression to World War II, the Civil Rights Movement, Hurricane Camille, and beyond-revealing the quiet heroism that often goes unnoticed but never loses its power.

Perfect for readers of inspiring historical fiction and true stories of resilience, this moving novel reminds us that even in humanity's darkest hours, compassion can triumph over hatred, grace can overcome injustice, and ordinary people can change history. Discover the remarkable Mississippi story that time nearly forgot, and meet the extraordinary woman whose life proves that hope always finds a way.
