In Black and White – A Gripping Christian Historical Romance

First Place Winner in Historical Fiction – 2020 Christian Indie Awards

A Forbidden Love. A Divided World. A Redeeming God.

In Black and White is a poignant and powerful Christian historical romance that dares to explore the depth of love between two souls separated by culture, color, and the crushing weight of racial prejudice.

Set against the backdrop of academic life and ancestral heritage, this award-winning novel weaves faith, endurance, and restoration into a story that transcends time and speaks to the heart of humanity’s greatest struggles—and God’s greatest triumphs.

📖 The Story

Tori Pendola is a white American graduate student. Jebuni Kalitsi is a black Ghanaian exchange student—and heir to a tribal chieftaincy.

When their paths cross, hearts collide.

What begins as a serendipitous connection soon evolves into a love as deep as it is dangerous. But as their affection grows, so too does the hostility around them. Faced with cultural barriers, racial tensions, and deeply rooted societal expectations, Tori and Jebuni must choose: walk away in the name of safety, or stand firm in the name of love.

Can their love withstand the pressure of prejudice, guilt, and rejection? Or will the world tear apart what God has brought together?
