A Change of Heart (The Hartford Series) (Volume 1) Kindle Edition
It doesn’t seem like a miracle at first. Ross loses everything he holds dear—his literary agency, his life savings, and even his autonomy—when an argument spins out of control, and he is shot in the back. Depressed and embittered, he moves into a housing project in Hartford, Connecticut.
There, he meets a black woman named Maggie Turner and her grandson, Tracie Walker. Ross originally wants nothing to do with either of them, but their patience and kindness begin opening his heart to the possibility of redemption and God’s grace in his life.
This inspirational novel addresses the toxicity of racial tensions and the nature of hate. As Ross grows closer and closer with Maggie and Tracie, he will begin to believe in miracles after all.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"I loved this novel because it shows that even though we are conditioned from birth to have certain beliefs, we can learn differently if we are willing to accept change... I am looking forward to Mr. Watkins's next offering. This one was definitely worth my time and held my attention, something that happens less and less these days with the books lining the shelves with redundant story lines. Thanks for writing something unique," wrote Zane, Author of Addicted and Vengeance.
"Jermaine Watkins possesses a clever and poignant writing style that draws you into the story immediately and doesn't let go until the final page is turned. He is an author that will be appreciated for years to come," wrote Linda Dominique Grosvenor, Author of The Love Better Manual and The Savvy Author's Manual.
About the Author
Jermaine Watkins is committed to showing America the importance of reading and writing. His love of literature has inspired him to write his own series set in his hometown of Hartford, Connecticut. A Change of Heart is his debut book, and Watkins is already hard at work on a second installment.
Watkins has been interviewed on radio shows, including CBS's Hot 93.7 FM and Clear Channel's Power 104.1 FM. He has been published in the Hartford Courant and Hartford Magazine, and he's been signed at Barnes & Noble and Walmart.
Watkins is incredibly proud of his father, Willie Rogers, who is the lead singer of the Soul Stirrers. This legendary gospel group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and launched Sam Cooke's amazing musical career.

His writing has a mix of spirituality and factual premises, in the case of "A Change of Heart" Ross is one of the main character's that has become a symbol of populism in America. A white male figure that had limited exposure to black culture and because of a tragic event begins to change his psychology and spirituality about African Americans. Its been close to ten years since I have read this book however, the overall concepts are fresh in my mind.
In jumping into 2017, we have a new President Donald Trump; America need's to become great again. The question is how do we create unity in a country that was founded on separation? This is a great book for all races and creeds to learn more about spirituality and realism in America. Can we unite as a country without being able to see each other viewpoints, lifestyle and culture? I believe "America will continue to be great" this book is a great example of the process.
