A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
"“The author handles themes that are as relevant and sensitive to contemporary readers as these were to characters in 1903. This is a novel that compels readers to think about one of the pressing problems of America—the color line.”
~ Ruffina Oserio/READERS’ FAVORITE (5-stars)
“In TRIUMPH, author Jodi Lea Stewart shows that time and place have nothing to do with the power of the human spirit.”
~ Cyrus Webb, Media Personality, Author and Top Amazon Reviewer
“… shedding a light of hope and encouragement on the most incendiary social concern of our nation.”
~ DB Jackson, Winner of the Western Heritage Award
“Triumph is a stunning and sweeping piece of literary fiction that ticks all the right boxes for an engrossing read. Jodi Lea Stewart sets the stage with an emotional series of events, one in particular where I practically crumpled to the ground.”
~ Jamie Michele/READERS’ FAVORITE (5-stars)
""Author Jodi Lea Stewart has crafted a mighty tale that packs a huge emotional punch, and you can feel its impact on every page of this excellent novel. Overall, I would definitely recommend Triumph to readers who enjoy historical sagas that deliver on friendship, hope, and heart. K.C. Finn//READERS’ FAVORITE Review (5-star review)
""TRIUMPH is an intricate and detailed series of stories slowly, but skillfully, woven together to bring the reader to a surprising finale. This is not a book to be read casually. Following the complex interactions of the large cast of characters will keep readers on their toes.
From the mysteries of pagan voodoo to the social unacceptance of intermarriage, to the wanderings and desires of the more modern human heart, Ms. Stewart leads the reader on a trail of discovery. That the most dramatic discovery is saved until the very end adds a capstone to this enjoyable and enlightening work."" ~ Reg Quist, Author"
