Ashley's Destiny

About the Book

About the Author

Andrew Stuckey, born of a black American, during hard racist times, grows up in the Old south. Prematurely street-wise, he quits school at fourteen, and goes to work. In 1942, in search of equality, he joins the army. He goes overseas. His mind opens to different cultures. He scorns no color of skin. In France he meets his spouse to be. She is white, French born. At war’s end, Andrew, in France, is a friend among friends. Having mixed in crowds of strangers, he, in Ashley’s Destiny, builds a case for his belief: people of different cultures can be friends.
