A Lambda Literary Nominee in 2004 for Romance. Author: Marianne K. Martin Publication Date: October 2004 Paperback.
Under the Witness Tree is a saga of love with its roots extending back to the civil war. When Anna Grayson dies and leaves her estate to Dhari Weston, a niece she has never met, she opens the window on family secrets that have been kept for well over a hundred years. What secrets would be kept so long? Secrets of passion, or crime, or infidelity? How would knowing them make any difference now? Dhari Weston’s life was complicated enough without them. Her mother needed her, her father depended on her, her girlfriend worried her, and the only person she could share her most intimate fears with was her brother. How relevant could Dr. Hughes and her history of a time long past and an ancient black woman possibly be to her life? The answer was one she never expected. Tags: Lesbian Fiction, Lesbian Romance.
