Summary

“Fireside: The James Johnson Story,” is the first of the Fireside series. The book is set in Atlanta Georgia, in an Assisted Living Center where wonderful, endearing characters bring life to this makeshift home. Cops eat with hookers and janitors eat with CEOs, while they are led by their beloved, red-headed rebellious nurse, who covers her tattoos with a lab jacket by day and shoots tequila on the dance floor at night.

Each book in the series focuses on a resident, just arriving to Fireside. This debut novel focuses on James Johnson, a black sharecropper’s son who falls in love with his high school sweetheart, Estelle, a petite, white girl from a broken home. Flashback chapters look back at their life of love and the harrowing struggles they endured to stay together.
