Local Student Publishes Book

Jordan Guyton, a 14-year-old ninth-grader who attends B.C. Rain High School, has written and published a book, Black Queen, according to WKRG. Guyton says the book started as a two-page poem to honor his great-great-grandmother, but it soon turned into a 484-page book with his great-great-grandmother as the main character. The book is a fictional tale about an African-American slave named Betty Anthony from Tuskegee, Alabama. Her parents died when she was young, but she “stayed on the battlefield for the Lord and, like Moses, led her people.”
