Overview
Set in the late 1950s, The Battle of Hayes Pond' is a stirring narrative centered around Koda Locklear, a young Lumbee boy immersed in his culture amidst the backdrop of Pembroke, a small town in Robeson County, North Carolina. Facing the harsh realities of prejudice at an early age, Koda's story is a portrayal of the Lumbee community's resilience. Interwoven with authentic accounts from eyewitnesses, the novel vividly brings to life the multifaceted challenges the Lumbee endured. It reaches a crescendo when the KKK, incited by the town's racial integration, ignites a confrontation, only to find the united Lumbee people a formidable force. The night of the clash marks a significant turning point, casting the Klan out of Robeson County forever. More than historical fiction, this tale is a testament to the unbreakable Lumbee community. Included in the postface is a concise recount of the actual events that inspired this compelling story, anchoring the narrative in the profound truths of resilience and unity.
