Foreword
Catherine Temple has done a superb job in writing this realistic fiction, Undercurrents in America. She is more than qualified because of her age, spirituality, and wisdom. Catherine is eighty-four years old and full of spiritual and wise wisdom. She is the mother of seven children, great and great-great grandchildren. I know this as a fact because I’m one of her five daughters. She is a guiding light, inspiration, and a loving mother in my life.
Although I am an adult, I still rely on her for advice and inspiration. She is a God fearing woman and a prayer warrior. She’s always been there for me in sickness and health providing proper guidance and prayers. I recommend this book for all to read. You will be richly blessed. This book is fiction, but it’s based on real life situations. This book describes the origin of racism in America and how it has been undercurrent. Yet, it is an inspirational book which gives hope and faith for a better day.
The reader will find many inspiring scriptures in this book. There are many benefits that a reader can gain from the experiences of the characters in this book. This is a unique book because the reader can connect to the everyday life experiences of the characters in this book. I enjoyed the book, and I found it valuable. I think you will, too. Enjoy!

Preface
Many people, especially friends and associates, confidently asked, Catherine, are you the only author?
My sincere answer is only with God, only with prayers, only with faith to believe and receive from God in Jesus’ name.
Undercurrents in America is a manuscript of discrimination and religion
