Publisher's summary

Life in 1925 Atlanta, Georgia, makes Truck realize three things:

He must demand respect …

Be uncompromising in the protection of his family …

And see Josephine for who she really is …

When his family is faced with losing everything, Truck embarks on a path from which there is no turning back. Ignite is a complicated tale of passion and unconditional love while navigating the Jim Crow South.

Amazing

Joan Vassar has done it again. Joan is an architect of weaving both fiction and history together giving you vivid stories that captures your heart. Ignite is novel, full of suspense, intrigue, humor, and love. The lively characters Truck, Corn and Josie are working towards self discovery as they maneuver through the Jim Crow south. With their journey come hurt, danger and betrayal. A great read by an amazing author.

The narration by JD Jackson brings each character to life. With his narration you become friends the each character as the story unfolds.

It kept me in suspense.

I liked the interactions of the characters. I wished we were privy to know how Corn’s life turned out. I hope Truck and Josie have a family. I enjoyed the story.

IGNITEd

In the hands of the masterful Joan Vassar, "IGNITE" is a time-traveling journey to a land steeped in history, where details of Georgia's landscape and culture is brought to life. With a deft touch, Vassar weaves a tale that is both poignant and suspenseful, drawing the reader into a world of danger, passion, and revenge with this profound, prolific and powerful story that had me captivated from beginning to end.

Truck's determination and desperation to navigate the Jim Crow south to save his family’s land and his unwavering love for Josie, despite her troubles, is a compelling testament to the power of love in the face of adversity. Josie's own struggles are equally engaging, as she learns to trust in herself and in the love of another. While Corn is working through his own self discovery. Life is challenging enough trying to survive and the odds are not in their favor until the odds favor them and they take matters into their own hands.

This emotional and heartfelt story is seductive, suspenseful, and engaging. The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat. The emotions that run through the story are palpable, and the angst of the characters is both heartbreaking and warming. These characters' journeys had me invested in their story that gets more intense, dangerous and deadly as you read.

The narration by JD Jackson was an enthralling experience. He delivered the true essence of each character bringing them to life with an unparalleled talent. He embodies the crux of each character's unique spirit breathing life into every word spoken and truly becomes the voice of each persona.

"IGNITE" is a mesmerizing work of fiction.

Only As Joan Can!

Joan's pen is outstanding! She leaves a lot to the imagination, but delivers it delicately. This is definitely her signature. Not a character written that doesn't evoke some type of emotion from the reader. Trust me, I'm still PO bout a chic from the Black series! lol But that is indeed the beauty of Joan Vassar. She has you captured from the beginning to the end.
