The day his mother died, Jonathan Cooke understood what it meant to be completely alone in the world. On that awful day, when he buried his mother beside his father, he also understood the deep pain of deception. He was the only child of two orphans and had no other relatives, or so he thought... until he inadvertently discovered his mother's lies. This woman, who he had trusted completely, kept the most important things about his life, her secret. His birth father was alive, and so was her mother.With only meager clues from her past, Jonathan forged out on his own to untangle the legacy of lies his mother left him, and to find the family she had turned her back on, if they would have him. What he really needed to find was the only family that would love and accept him unconditionally, in The Beloved.

Autorenporträt
BEVERLYN FRAY has been a fine artist, a film director, producer and editor, a graphic designer and most importantly, a writer. She has written articles, speeches, short stories and three feature-length screenplays. As a filmmaker, her USC Graduate short film, "The Long Walk Home," won her six national awards and was produced theatrically into a feature-length narrative film starring Sissy Spacek and Whoopie Goldberg. She has worked in off-Broadway theater, and event production for Dick Clark Corporate Productions and The Manhattan Center in New York City. She spent extended time in Africa where she filmed the humanitarian work being done for children and families who live in the slums of Kiambo in Nairobi, Kenya, the villages of Nyanza Kagan, Kenya and in Bujumbura, Burundi. During her time in Israel, she was able to document some of the thoughts and experiences of South Sudanese immigrant families being repatriated to their country. Throughout her professional career, her travels abroad and her personal experiences, she has found a common thread and the recurring theme of families... fractured, needy, bruised, challenged, yet bonded. It is the importance of family that inspired her to write her first novel, 'In The Beloved Jonathan Cooke.' Her creativity has had many outlets, but words and writing have always been the articulating quill of her imagination, and life is the ink. She has experienced the "say-it" of the theater, the "show-it" of film, and now with her first novel, she delves into the "tell-it" of prose.
