Loved the trailer Cuz, can't wait to read the book. So Very proud of you.❤💯💪
Beautiful!
Thanks to all who have viewed/commented/shared so far! Please keep it up! The Peach Seed was inspired by many incredible folk from my maternal and paternal gene pools, but it is not our family story. That is still locked behind the Wall of History, as part of plan by oppressors. I built this fictional story around what MIGHT have been; what COULD grow from a single seed found in the sand.
You are an inspiration! Keep enduring!
Talent .....and endurance! Yes!!! That's you.
Oh!!!! This is a wonderful trailer. I'm excited to read the book. I lived in Brunswick and Savannah several years ago. Each time I visited the beaches I imagined the stories they would tell.
Thanks for sharing this, Chiquita. Indeed: stories abound. In every step we take...
Can't wait to read this book. It looks enthralling.
8/1 can't come soon enough! absolutely incredible ✨

I'm so excited to read this novel. The trailer is beautiful and intriguing.
Nice trailer, Cuz! Aunt 'Rene, Uncle Silas & Bettye Jean would all be as proud as we are that this dream is finally come to fruition! 🍑
Thanks, Cuz! I want folks to know that your father, my cousin, the late Paul Herns, carved peach seed monkeys and gifted two to me and Bettye Jean (my sister) in the 60s. He, too, is looking down proudly knowing what a talisman his gift has become! 🍑🕊
Oh my goodness Gail.. This is stunning! What an amazing way to introduce your book. I am very excited to read and share. Really impressive!!!! Can't wait.
So, so happy for you Gail!🎉🎉🎉
I can’t believe I called you Gail! Mercy…apologies Anita…you go girl…
