THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL BOOKS EVER WRITTEN!!! It broaches a concept the majority of America has never considered, and the minority has never dared to raise in mixed company. While the discussion of slavery as it was may seem harmless enough to most Americans, would the past be as elusive if that past was that of the majority. IMAGINE THIS: WHAT IF WHITE PEOPLE WERE SLAVES? WHAT IF THE GRISLY AND SADISTIC PAST OF MY ANCESTORS WAS THAT OF MY WHITE NEIGHBOR?Going back in time.... The year is 1815, and Yuri Okoyoke, an innocent bi-racial 10-year old girl of Uribe decent, has grown up not as a slave but rather as a townsperson. Her father is the cotton industry magnate who owns one of the most successful plantations in the new country: The Okoyoke Plantation. It was a time when the country was flourishing, and life was as all believed it should be. Daddy Okoyoke's barren Uribe wife had graciously assumed his half-Caulker daughter as her own. But more interestingly was the fact that Yuri's birth mother had also been allowed to remain inside of the Okoyoke household where she was also treated and referred to as Yuri's "Second Mother" even though she was a full-blooded Caulker slave. It was a time when this uncustomary dynamic had strangely become family. In frequent company with her best friend Nakia - a full-blooded townsperson, history reflects that Yuri lived a life that most young people her age could only imagine. That was until one fateful and unfortunate evening, all of this was suddenly brought to a disconcerting halt. A tragic turn of events takes place, transforming this beautiful Southern region of the new world hauntingly into an area known for meting out the gravest of punishment against its white slave population for the slightest of offenses. Slavery. Death. Castration. Lowered in boiling oil. Sexually assaulted. Inhumanity. Millennial-aged author, storyteller, and songstress Honesty Brennan partners with her published author and poet father, N. D. "Indy" Brennan, to bring life to this unprecedented and uncharacteristically surreal and surrogate American history to the heart of America. Together, they accomplish a reality that the average American has not had the audacity or courage to envision. Reciprocal's First Fifteen is the first of a series of books that wonderfully illustrates an American history that the average American of any ethnicity has difficulty imagining. The First Fifteen covers a time in our pseudo-history when white slaves were comfortable with their lives. It unveils how through the course of one terrible event, the moral fabric of an entire country, and the world, is forever changed. Reciprocal is a storytelling experience unlike any that you have ever encountered. In short, imagine life as we know, history as we have been taught, but now, suddenly, in the reciprocal...The authors would love to hear your opinions on the book and the subject-matter.
