Overview"YOU EVER SAY TO YOURSELF, ""DAMN IT IS HARD BEING BLACK IN AMERICA?"" The year was 1877 and Reconstruction was working until Presidential politics unshackled cold-blooded men to pray upon black Americans. They were free, but free to do what? Bertha and Tucker were raised in the ways of the Elders: maintain your dignity, know your history, and never compromise your values. Their children were more than sharecroppers. Junior, the oldest, was an astute businessman. Joan was a teacher. Joseph, the brother quick to fight. Rose falls in love with the wrong man. Gladys the youngest, helps Rose through tough times. A ruthless sheriff, and a wealthy white supremacist confront Bertha's family after the former slaves build a successful business. At the same time, a new set of characters emerge to challenge Bertha's grandson Earl: Shorty the psychopathic killer, the Commander, the leader of a band of outlaws, and the notorious gangster Gaddes. Will Earl's plan for revenge work? Or will he put his loved ones in danger? Can anyone be trusted? ""If the Elders Call"" is a fictional family saga, a combination of ""Roots"" and ""Django"" that will leave you cheering. The thriller explodes with energy, realism, and unique characters."
