Wild Conviction is the GOLD WINNER in the 2024 Human Relations Indie Book Awards, Historical Realistic Fiction category.
In a hostile land, a young woman dares to stand against enslavers and learns—
survival isn't freedom.
Secrets about her ancestry ignite Twilight Adams to help children enslaved at a wicked plantation. Believing in her calling and her emerging powers, she bravely faces constant oppressive situations, fighting for her life and the lives of those she loves.
Spanning three years, 1858 to 1861, Wild Conviction is a socially conscious, richly historical, epic adventure—sprinkled with Magical Realism, laced with Southern Gothic, and steeped in the heated tensions of Antebellum America.
For this novel, the author created a scenario within a historical setting in which the terms Rich-tone and Pale are used for skin tone—and without historical and contemporary derogatory terms.
Wild Conviction is a cross-genre novel — meaning it spans several genres.
It is Historical Fiction. It is sprinkled with Magical Realism. It is laced with Southern Gothic. It is an Epic Adventure novel. It is a Coming-of-Age story. It is Literary.
Amazon categorizes it as Historical Mystery, Thriller and Suspense — and even in the category of Supernatural Thrillers!
All in all, Wild Conviction is an amazing journey.
And, thus, based on the definition of Women’s Fiction by the Women’s Fiction Writers Association — a vibrant community of writers of which I have been a member for several years — Wild Conviction is also within the category of Women’s Fiction.
This does not mean it is only for women readers or only about women.
What it means is that it is a story of an amazing journey.
Here is the definition of Women’s Fiction from the Women’s Fiction Writers Association:
“Women's fiction is a writing genre that includes layered stories in which the plot is driven by the main character’s emotional journey. The stories can be contemporary or historical and may have magical, mystery, thriller, romance, or other elements.”
From the Women’s Fiction Writers Association website:
“Women's Fiction Writers Association is an inclusive organization of writers creating layered stories in which the plot is driven by the main character’s emotional journey.”
