Dark clouds gather as Judy seeks revenge for her broken heart

The GreenLegacy
During the year 1843, young Judy is sold into slave labor but all signs point towards the secretive teenager setting up the situation herself. She has psychic abilities and is driven to become an influential spiritual figure in the city of New Orleans but everything changes after she unexpectedly falls for a married member of the Green family. In addition to Judy’s hopes, there are others in the city who have needs and motivations that are on the insidious side. Secrets unfold as the line between truth and deception becomes blurred and good and evil find a home.
The Green Legacy is a work of fiction but it is also an exploration into the writer's family history. Most of the people in the story actually did exist. Available at Amazon.com |
The Green Legacy is the prequel to the Reflections of EL series.
Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars - Hooked from the very beginning!
This has been the best book I have read in quite some time. I could not put it down once I started. It takes place in Louisiana, and being from LA I love reading books about where I live. It has several aspects of the supernatural (but not much on Marie Laveau, even though she is mentioned). It starts off following a slave girl named Judy, whose story is so captivating you want to know the truth about what really happened. It takes many turns and honestly, I did not see the ending going where it went AT ALL. lol So maybe that's why I liked it so much. I'm not sure how factual this book is, some of the supernatural elements seem highly unlikely to have happened (you'll see!) But it was a great read and I'm a little sad it ended so quickly!

As a busy record label executive..I find myself in my leisure time... just wanting to unwind, kick back and immerse myself in a good book. My go to author....for a long time has been Lloyd A. Green.
Mr. Green (a native New Yorker) is a master story teller and a true literary talent, (whoʼs writing abilities should be embraced by the masses) ; and shines very "brightly" with engaging story telling techniques and plots. Having read two of his earlier works ....I was no less surprised how "well written" and creatively put together "The Green Legacy" was!
From the moment the story unfolds..you find yourself transported back to the early-to-mid 1800's in Louisiana; where a young beautiful woman finds herself endowed with psychic powers..and setʼs out on a course experiencing love, pain and seeking revenge.
Mr Green, crafts his story so well.... that the reader is taken on a constant ride of mystery, intrigue and a surprising "who done it" along the way. I could not put the book down....and had to read it to the end!
He mixed his imagination along with some family history and told a famously great story. I was “enthralled” reading this book and highly recommend it to anyone. It's a must read!
