In spring 1962, a young black girl is killed at a civil rights demonstration on a university campus in Atlanta. The next day a home in Georgia is burned.

Cole and Marie are high school seniors when they first meet in fall 1954. He is a native-born Southerner accepting the traditions of segregation as a way of life. Marie is a recent transplant from Washington, DC, a brilliant and assertive nonconformist with bold predictions about a new world that is about to be ushered in by desegregation. The story revolves around the fiftieth reunion of the Overton High School class of 1955. The Book of Marie is the story of a generation'whites and blacks'who ignited the war of change. Yet, it is also as much about the power of place'the finding of home'as it is about the history of events.

Pages : 54
Book Description
June Marie was a PK (preacher's kid) that loved and trusted God. As a young girl, she lived her life in fish bowl-like surroundings as most PK's do. Her early life was under the very strict control of her Victorian-minded father who was a dedicated and well loved minister. Adolescent mistakes, caused many of Junes early actions in life to be misinterpreted by some. June always refused to argue or defend herself in her own behalf, she trusted God to fight her battles and He always did. She grew to become a well loved and prolific wife, mother, grand mother and great grandmother and business woman with lots of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren that all loved her. My life with June Marie was one that I lived in total amazement because we never once, had a serious argument, although we did disagree once, I forget why, while moving into a new home. We married late in life, I knew her for 42 years and we were married for 35 of those years. Her values were her ethics and she lived them daily.
