Sweep Me All Over MR Gerald E Burch

"Sweep Me All Over" is a story of a chance meeting between a beautiful young woman named Jessie Ledlow and a strong, sensitive, mountain of a man named Moses Battle. It is an improbable tale of an impossible love affair; which against all odds, managed to find the green fertile grounds of faith and flourish. It is also an inspiring adventure of two indomitable spirits that subdued all obstacles; even the harshest realities of slavery, to find a way to transform their lives from a hopeless quagmire into a fantastic journey of intrigue, mystery and romance, that will be forever enshrined in the annals of eternal love. It takes place in and around Middle and South Georgia, during a horribly dark period in the history of the United States of America. The turbulent Eighteen Fifties and Sixties saw a rift in the very fabric of our nation. A nation that was divided by the evils of chattel slavery, and burdened by conflicting political ideologies so great, that it was almost certain that a Civil War was inevitable. Even amid the chaos of those times, the love between Jessie and Moses was so intense and so pure, that it affected any and everyone that came into contact with them; and for that matter, any and everyone that even heard of the greatness of their love. "Sweep Me All Over" is also a contagious dream; a dream of caring more for someone else than you care for your own self. It is a treasure chest with the keys exposed; waiting only for some who's daring enough to unlock it, and expose its eternal jewels.
