As World War I is raging, in the small town of Grove, La., two white farmers and four black sharecroppers aren't joining up. They are going on trial for the brutal axe murders of an entire family on Christmas day. The Dec. 25, 1916 murders of John Nelson Reeves, his wife, Maude, and three of their four children is the subject of a new book by Minden, La. resident Marilyn Miller. Although involved in journalism and public relations for the past 27 years, Sons of Darkness, Sons of Light is the author's first venture into nonfiction publishing.
Marilyn Miller This was the true crime story for residents all over the area in 1916. But as gruesome as it was, the actual murders are not the central focus of the book. The real story doesn't begin until arrest are made and the trials began. That's when it really gets interesting.
"If I simply said this book involves murder, a prominent family, race relations and politics, you'd ask, 'What book doesn't?'" Ms. Miller said. "But this story has a lot of twists and turns that makes it unique. It was a book waiting to be written." Size 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, color cover, 194 pages, perfect bound and four pages of pictures.
