The Disappointment Room

The Disappointment Room

The voice coming from the armoire in Charlesâ€™ bedroom of the old southern plantation house sent chill bumps all over him.
Chaulz. The voice sounded familiar, but he couldnâ€™t place it. It was a manâ€™s voice. Stunned, Charles stayed very still, watching the blackness inside the closet, and waiting for more words. Finally, his breathing evened, and his heartbeat slowed to normal. He very slowly approached the armoire until he was again standing at the hollow between the open doors.

â€œYouâ€™re not scaring me,â€ Charles lied to the massive oak furniture.
But the voice didnâ€™t sound threatening. It was a whisper; sort of sad and pleading. He swallowed hard, picked up his foot and stepped into the darkâ€¦

The past collides with the present in this exciting tale that begins in 1844 on Coffin Point Plantation, Beaufort, South Carolina. Beginning with Charles Knight, locked away in a Disappointment Room, with only Munday, his black nanny, and Helen, her daughter, for companions, the Knight family saga is set in motion.

The Disappointment Room is a gripping story of human bondage and the relentless search for freedom; freedom from the ghosts, secrets, terrors, and atrocities of the past. But the past keeps coming back.

A fast-paced, exciting read infused with the Gullah culture, voodoo, slavery, and the politics of the antebellum and contemporary South.
