It Just Wasn’t Done is a sweeping generational saga of resilience, faith, and the pursuit of truth across centuries.
From the Somerset line in London to the plantations of the American South, from the Underground Railroad to Civil War battlefields, and into the quiet towns of Ohio, the story follows Lillian Rose Somerset and her ancestors as they wrestle with injustice, love, loss, and the courage to change what society insists “just wasn’t done.”
Told through family journals and voices long silenced, the novel uncovers hidden histories of privilege, slavery, faith, and survival-revealing how each generation’s choices echo through the lives of those who come after. With a cast of abolitionists, healers, dreamers, and survivors, It Just Wasn’t Done is both a family chronicle and a meditation on healing the wounds of the past, daring readers to confront the question: When the heart demands change, will you answer?
