How did a small village get such an unusual name? The answer would reveal the secret to one of the best kept secrets in Appalachian history. The answer had been woven into the fabric of day to day life hiding the invisible threads of humanity and history long passed away. Or had they? Those threads, once illuminated, led back to a transplanted ancient culture left curiously intact, a whirlwind 19th century Caribbean romance and a gifted thinker that reflect the true spirit of a culture known for their independent mind. Discovering Lavalette-Commemorative Village Edition is the multi-dimensional cultural biography of a small southern Appalachian village and its humble people. Introductions include photographs and oral histories from the earliest settlers, their adventures with Colonial America, the American Civil War, the coming of the Industrial Age.

Beware; readers beware because this is a book that you may not be ready to read. Is Jesus really a Black man? If Jesus is black then does the bible support it? Why don’t preachers both black and white discuss racism as it pertains to how Jesus is still being falsely portrayed as white? Why is the color of Jesus very important? The answers to these and many more questions can be found in this book. This book is not designed to be user friendly and it confronts directly the racism both found still in the walls of churches and the ever present racism that never died in America. Most importantly if Jesus is honestly a black man then that means that the real children of Abraham are also black.

''When my wife Arabella and I decided to take our summer vacation in Florida, I dreamed of lying under a coconut palm sipping a cool drink while Arab lovingly fanned a breeze my way. I have had dreams of that type before and something always goes wrong. Four years of being married to Arab should have taught me that. Whenever my lovely blond wife decides to stir up a breeze for my benefit, it is time for the Coast Guard to run up two square flags, red with black centers, one flying above the other. They tell me that’s the signal for a hurricane.'' Thus wrote Andy Blake, wistfully, at the start of his Florida vacation. Readers who have followed his adventures through the years of his tempest...
