The Sweater of My Soul, Lisa A. Greenlee's debut novel, takes place in the late 1950s and early 1960s, in a small rural community only but a stone's throw from Savannah, Georgia.
A young woman, Georgia Ann Balfour (Georgi), returns home from university to rekindle a friendship with childhood playmate, Hatti Louise Walker. Hatti is the daughter of Cilla, the Balfour family's beloved maid.
Georgia finds herself fraught with turmoil when discovering who she is at her very core after falling into the most impossible kind of love.
The Sweater of My Soul, while a darling little love story, is an awakening, brimming with emotional intimacy and courage while breaking boundaries of sexuality and the racial divide. The whimsical interaction between characters captivates the heart while soothing the restless soul.
