As you read this story, you will believe that you know the family portrayed in it, because these types of events occurred throughout the South with results that were not always positive, but that is not the case in my life. Against the odds, I am a happily married woman with a wonderful husband of more than thirty years with the blessing of nine amazing children as I write this story. I am very aware that this is not the typical scenario of most illegitimate children born in poverty-stricken areas and I am so thankful for the outcome. Psychologists say that your core personality is set by the age of six, which is my exact age when everything in my life suddenly turned up side down. My wish is that my story will inspire you to look beyond your circumstances and achieve all of the desires, hopes, and expectations you have dreamed and believed for your life.

The Muscadine Vine edition by Jo Ann Johnson Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
It has been a long time since I sat down to read a fiction novel and I am glad I chose "The Muscadine Vine." It is an intriguing story, set in the deep south during the mid-20th century, about Joan "Fitzgerald", the illegitimate mulatto child of the wealthy white land owner, Alfred Fitzgerald Jr. and his African American mistress, Sally Jewel Smith.
This is not a story of defeat but one of triumph and love that could not be in the open during this time in the southern United States. The Muscadine Vine does not delve into societal issues however it gives a view of life during this time through story lines. These stories let the reader know the background forces behind the actions of the main characters.
I could vividly imagine Alfred Fitzgerald and his, appropriately named son, Cane being at odd's with one another over the life that Alfred was living. To me, Alfred's half-sister Ida, from the affair of Alfred, Sr with his maid, represents women in the African American community that have taken in and raised other peoples children over the centuries. Jo Ann has done a fantastic job of painting a lifelike picture of the rural south.
As a married man, Alfred was torn between doing what was right and expected verses what he really wanted for his life. In the end he tried to do what was best for his 4 girls only to be thwarted by forces unbeknownst to him.
I don't know about you but I have a difficult time keeping track of characters in some novels. In fact, I have made notes so that I could remember how they came to be a part of the story. Mrs. Johnson has given you a "List of Characters" in the front of her book to help keep our memory straight and will be helpful when you get her next book the contains the continuation of Joan's life. Thank you Jo Ann for providing something I wish was done by more authors.
I highly recommend "The Muscadine Vine." Part II is coming out this year and I will be pre-ordering my copy because I want to know what Joan ultimately does with her life.
This book will not let you put it down! I read it cover to cover. It brings in images of warm Louisiana nights with just a touch romance and taboo. Great story for the summer!
A wonderful story full of unique and interesting characters. I read cover to cover in one sitting and am waiting for the next one =)
The Muscadine Vine
I read this book in one sitting. It was written so well I did not want to put it down. Afterwards I re-read it, slower, just in case I missed something. I am now re-reading it again. I laughed, cried and there are times I feel like I am right in the middle of what is happening. This story has awakened great childhood memories in me. Every time I read it I see more miracles taken place in the characters lives. God is an awesome God! I am looking forward to future books by this Spiritual Author Jo Ann Johnson. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.
I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. I read it in a few days. I loved the way Jo Ann described and set up the scenes. Her voice is like that of a wise woman.
