About the Book

A FAMILY GATHERING
- an epic family novel by Gene Cartwright, former Oprah guest author and past Pulitzer-nominee.

"I have not been so moved by a book, since reading Alex's [Haley]. When the film is made, I am laying claim to the role of Aunt Rose."

- Ms. Cicely Tyson, Award-winning film icon

When the pregnant 12-year-old daughter of a black southern preacher fingers the son of the state's wealthiest white family, she is exiled to Chicago relatives, but defiantly returns 14-years later and is targeted for murder by that family-clinging to their Confederate heritage.


About the Author: Gene Cartwright, a native of Texas, was born in Baytown, a small, Gulf Coast town 20 miles east of Houston. He often says it was his great fortune to be born at the right address - the home of Elmer and Marie Cartwright - his parents. Gene is the eldest son and second of eight children. He insists his love of writing and learning was sparked by his mother, who taught him to read when he was barely four. He was fascinated-captured by the freedom reading afforded. What was more, he read and was inspired to put his own words to paper. He has always enjoyed both technical and literary pursuits. He wrote his first novel at 12. (90 pages longhand.) Also, at age 12, he was working with a local electrician actually wiring new homes and retrofitting older homes. Gene graduated high school and headed immediately to college Prairie View A&M.). Four years later, degree in hand, and for almost 8 years thereafter, during what he now refers to as another life, Gene was an electrical engineer, designing lighting and power distribution systems. He next founded and owned a very successful consumer electronics company in Houston, Texas. A few years later, he saddled up and headed west. While he doesn't mind talking about working as an environmental engineer with the Air Quality Management District in California, he doesn't reveal much about his debut at the Improv as a guitarist and singer. Throughout his engineering pursuits and business activities, Gene continued to write and dream of being a published and a full-time author. In 1996, that dream was realized. Gene has written 5 novels and several screenplays. For two years, his book tour for 'I Never Played Catch With My Father, ' took him from coast to coast: He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, including Oprah, NPR stations and countless tv morning shows, news and sports shows. He has been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles. Gene was the featured author in Ebony Magazine in the November '97 issue. Finally, Gene's greatest childhood thrill was his very first little league baseball game. His greatest childhood fear was ...his very first little league baseball game. And his pet peeve? Something he labels sacrilegious-the use of the aluminum baseball bats. Gene is also the Founder/CEO of ifogo.com See author website at http: //GeneCartwright.com Also See: http: //afamilygathering.com
