"Dreams Beneath Water" is a story about Daisy Carson, a bright young Black girl from Oscarville, Georgia, whose dreams of attending Spelman College are tragically cut short. Set against the backdrop of racial injustice in the early 1900s, the book uncovers the forgotten history of a thriving Black community erased by violence and deliberately submerged beneath Lake Lanier. When a boy discovers Daisy's journal in 2025, her voice rises from the depths, reminding us of the importance of remembering the past and honoring the dreams of those whose stories were nearly lost to time. It's a tale of resilience, remembrance, and the enduring power of hope.
