The Legend of the Black Rose

This a great love story of an African princess driven from her homeland and doomed to wander as a restless spirit. The tales of the Black Rose and the Children of Kara are derived from over twenty years of collected stories from D. C. Cowan. The stories take place during a simpler time in history when the slightest hint of a scandal is known for miles around through word of mouth. Never before has an interesting mix of history and fantasy been spliced together in such an intricate and delicate manner.

D. C. Cowan wrote The Black Rose series over thirty years ago. Cowan, is a graduate of the prestigious Spellman College in Atlanta, GA, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. A pillar to her community, she was a director for many years at a local recreation center, and with the Sycamore Temple Church she taught Sunday School and received recognition from the members for her contributions. With quiet tenacity, Cowan has been writing her books for over thirty years only sharing her ideas with close relatives. While a dedicated housewife, she spent hours researching and writing self-help books and hundreds of poems, novels, and short stories. Finding courage in a hard time, Cowan worked for a number of years helping her children through school. Encouraged by her family, she now shares her stories with the world taking her rightful place as an African-American novelist and philosopher. A dedicated and loving mother and wife, she is the mother of two and currently resides with her retired husband.
