The End of the World

About the Book

The End of the World is about the end. It tells and develops a trail of two children growing up before and after the Civil war. The struggle, agony, death, and non-sensitivity which they experienced as children shook the lives of the entire Beaver Creek, South Carolina community.

One of the children lived in a slave shack, and worked in the field. The other lived in the mansion and performed work for the slave master. However, they realized that they both were slaves. Through these experiences, the meaning of “the end of the world” enters their thoughts. These experiences, and the continued life and death ordeals puzzled little Anne and Raymond.

Before you have completed the very first chapter, your mind will never be the same. This book touches the inner feelings of all mankind. It ignites that strong feeling of not giving up, and having faith through courage. So, seek, think, judge, and ponder, The End of the World. To all mankind remains a substance out front in the wild blue yonder.
