Synopsis
The Stable Boy is historical fiction. It is a love story, a rags-to-riches story, an anti-racist story and a triumph over injustice story. Taking place in the antebellum South, it tells the tale of how a lowly slave... a hidden genius... defies all odds and becomes one of the richest men in America. In Pygmalion* style, the young slave is taught proper elocution and English grammar, a gift that takes him from picking cotton to dealing with some of the wealthiest and most powerful men in America. It’s also a touching, tender... if unlikely... love story between two young men... one a slave, the other his owner. It takes the reader from the rural South to New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and London. It makes the incredible, credible. *Pygmalion is the George Bernard Shaw play on which the movie "MY Fair Lady" was based. It shows how the gift of language can change a guttersnipe into a princess.

About the Author
John Neubert holds a degree in History and Political Science. Widowed and retired, he found the time to follow his passion of writing about the injustice and cruelty that is the part of American history often swept under the rug, or romanticized. He hopes this novel will shed some light on the plight suffered by minority groups, including the LGBT community, as well as the African-American community. Although John worked as a journalist and broadcast writer, this is his first novel.
