Produktinformationen zu „A New Requiem (ePub)“
A 17-year-old boy is murdered, and a gay community chorus director and teacher is wrongly accused. The small, radically-fundamental town mounts against the alleged perpetrator, whose identity so starkly contrasts with the community's social norms, and a local defense attorney must sacrifice everything to save the man he knows is innocent. A thrilling story of good and evil, 'A New Requiem' entertains with whimsical humor while constantly pulling at the heartstrings in a call for empathy and understanding toward things different than what we are used to.
Autoren-Porträt von B. Lance Jenkins
Lance is a writer, speaker, and businessman in the greater North Carolina Triad area, and the co-founder of The Richmond Observer, a daily local news publication in the Sandhills region.He studied history at Chowan University and performed as a member of the community chorus, where he was inspired to include Mozart's Requiem as a central theme in his upcoming novel "A New Requiem."
The creation of Dwight Kerry, one of the main characters in the novel, was inspired by his real-life vocal instructor, Dwight Berry, a former choir director and teacher in Roanoke Rapids, NC who passed away from lung cancer in 2018. Dwight and Lance became friends and colleagues while working together and performing at multiple venues in northeastern North Carolina - Dwight as a pianist and Lance as a solo baritone.
In 2017, Lance informed Dwight he would be writing a novel that would feature him as the inspiration for one of the book's central characters and plans to dedicate the work to his memory and to the cause of equality and understanding.
In "A New Requiem," Dwight Kerry, a longtime teacher and choir director in the fictional town of Freeden, is an openly gay man living in the rural South. On the night of his spring community chorus concert, Mozart's Requiem, he is arrested and wrongly accused of murdering and raping a 17-year old boy, the son of a prominent family in the community.
The radically-fundamental populous immediately turns against Dwight and convicts him in the court of public opinion, and local homegrown trial attorney, choir member, and friend Ben Bailey elects to defend him from a corrupt local justice system. Led by local pastor and religious leader Dr. Daniel Henson, Freeden's majority wages a social war against Dwight, Ben, and progressive thought, claiming that Dwight must be found guilty for the sake of Freeden's future and the moral values its townspeople hold dear.
