the segregated life of African Americans in Northern Tulsa and the
tensions leading up to the Tulsa Race Riots.
Billy Ray
Matthias is the handsome son of the church's new pastor.
Benny is the daughter of the oil rich Freeman
family. He's convinced she's the woman God has for
him but she's not the least bit interested in getting involved. As
Billy's pursuit of Benny intensifies, so does the political and social
climate in the Greenwood District, an affluent African American
neighborhood.
When tensions come to a head and violence
breaks out, Billy and Benny are caught up in the heat of

him? Will faith in God be enough to sustain the people of
Greenwood as their lives are forever changed by deadly acts of hatred?

Son of a Preacherman is a needed view into a voice seldom rendered in inspirational fiction. I appreciated Banks' careful research, appealing characterization and cleverly built historical world.
