At ways in their lives that they could succeed

Then allow me now, just one more chance
The words to improve someone else's circumstance
And if not tomorrow, then maybe today
I could be the catalyst that shows another the way!"

Alan Thompson

New Hope, the
setting for A Hollow Cup,
is a mythical rendering of the "Southern part of Heaven" set
primarily in the 1960's. The killing of a beautiful girl, a
"race murder" from the past, is the key event of the novel. Two
men, one black, the other white, return to the iconic Southern
town of their youth to take part in the investigation and trial
of the man charged with the decades old crime. Luke Stanley, a
distinguished professor of criminal law, comes back to New Hope
intent on convicting the accused, Mike Singleton. Pete Johnson,
a successful lawyer with little respect for "the law," returns
to help with the defense only after he learns that the woman he
loves has moved back to town.
The reader
sees the characters as children in a small college town that
seems, at first, exempt from the turmoil experienced in other
places. Luke is a pioneer, the first black student to attend
New Hope's all-white schools. He and Pete become "friends" – an
unorthodox relationship that weaves the strands of the novel
together. Their childhoods end abruptly with a series of deaths
culminating in a brutal slaying, setting the stage for the
events that occur so many years later.

heritage that make North Carolina and The South such a unique
aspect of American life.

JeffNeelon
Follow the story and find that truth, hope, and
love can prevail through hard work and a strong faith in family
and friends. Walk with the main character, Dan, and help him
fight his Goliath: a treacherous, evil, cunning, man.
Terelin
One of the best books on going
into business and the pitfalls one may encounter should the one
met has less than honorable intentions. It goes to show that
there are those in this world that will do anything to take from
others. Reading I immediately felt the pain of the main
character. Though it is fiction, it is so real and life like.
Extremely worthwhile for all ages. There is right and wrong in
this world and the main character shows what one must do to put
things right.
