Description

A historical romance novel set in the 1920s in Tulsa, Oklahoma depicting the segregated life of African Americans in Northern Tulsa and the tensions leading up to the Tulsa Race Riots.

Billy Ray Matthias is the handsome son of the church's new pastor. Benny is the daughter of the oil rich Freeman family. He's convinced she's the woman God has for him but she's not the least bit interested in getting involved. As Billy's pursuit of Benny intensifies, so does the political and social climate in the Greenwood District, an affluent African American neighborhood.

When tensions come to a head and violence breaks out, Billy and Benny are caught up in the heat of chaos. He vows to keep her safe but will she let him? Will faith in God be enough to sustain the people of Greenwood as their lives are forever changed by deadly acts of hatred?

Son of a Preacherman is a needed view into a voice seldom rendered in inspirational fiction. I appreciated Banks' careful research, appealing characterization and cleverly built historical world.
