The Brookes Effect
A NOVEL
The Brookes Effect chronicles a high school history teacher’s controversial quest to teach the pre-American Civil War Trans-Atlantic African slave trade with the same historical scrutiny as other well-known atrocities, such as the Jewish holocaust.
When James Hiers decides to teach his students about the Trans-Atlantic African slave trade, he knows it will be a controversial topic, using his methods. Still, he is determined to give his students an accurate picture of this dark chapter in history.

As Hiers’ teaching methods become more and more controversial, he finds himself at the center of a media firestorm, but he refuses to back down. He knows the truth is worth fighting for, even if it means putting his career on the line.
Will Hiers be able to teach his students about the Trans-Atlantic slave trade without sacrificing his principles? Or will he be forced to abandon his quest in the face of overwhelming opposition?
