    About this ebook

    Struggle! Oppression! Bigotry!

    PALE MOON OVER PARADISE is the story of Leah, an African-American girl struggling to survive poverty and discrimination in the Jim Crow South.

    When Leah witnesses the aftermath of her brother’s lynching and then loses the only mother figure she has ever known, she feels her life is one deep chasm of uncertainty. With courage instilled in her by a loving old ex-slave named Mama Toomey, Leah manages to overcome her fears, facing the world with dignity and a true sense of self-worth.

    Travel back in time to the days before the Civil War. Follow Leah’s family through the dark days of slavery. Get to know Leah, a woman of strength and grit, and walk with her on her journey to overcome and prevail against bigotry and hate.

    Joni Green

    I’m Joni Green, author of fiction and illustrator of children’s books. My settings are as varied as the American landscape. My works of fiction cover a wide range of topics and themes. From ugly, racist attitudes to the humble kindness of strangers, from unavoidable tragedy and defeat to the unconquerable human spirit that rises from the ashes of chaos, from peace to war, from undying love to utter madness, I delve into the human soul and reveal glimpses of the frail and mortal character of Man. The settings are sometimes gritty and surreal, sometimes, simple and small town. My children’s books are full of entertaining and unique illustrations geared to making learning fun. I leave you with this invitation to step inside my world.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
