Dear Readers,

I'm so excited to share this saga, Grit Gamble and Grace with you. It's a story of ambition, corruption, and endurance. It follows Jerome “Redbone” Blake and Althea Hayes through the narrow choices available to them and the costly bargains that a broken world demands.

The backdrop is drawn from real history—early Florida, working class laborers and domestic servants, and the layered prejudices of the Jim Crow South. The bolita game itself runs as a metaphor throughout the series: the illusion of control and the mathematics of hope. I have tried to honor the complexity of a man shaped by impossible choices and his realization that the hardest battles are often fought within.

If this story lingers, I hope it leaves you thinking about the fragile line between power and survival.

I would be deeply grateful if you’d leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads.

With the love of The Lamb,
