A powerful and unforgettable love story, THE MEMORIES OF BELLEVUE is the first book in the Bellevue Trilogy, a hypnotically compelling series that blends rich, historical fiction with riveting intrigue in an engaging love story about Thomas White, a slave owner’s son and Jeyne, the beautiful slave girl he shared his life and dreams with as a young man.

The year is 1861 and the possibility war is consuming the nation, especially in the Union stronghold of New Orleans, Louisiana. But Thomas White, a wealthy slave owner and “conductor” in the Underground Railroad, is determined to rid himself of slavery once and for all and return to the North despite being torn between the past and present, racial prejudice, and the shifting alliances of an impending conflict. Yet, days before his planned departure, Thomas finds an old diary from his past -- a diary filled with private thoughts and reflections on Jeyne, the beautiful slave girl he shared his life and dreams with as a young man.

The Memories of Bellevue is an emotionally passionate piece that marks Jordan as a writer to watch. The second book, “The Flowers I Left Behind”, is scheduled for release in Spring 2015.
