Book Cover Design Brief

I need a book cover. I am thinking of self-publishing this story and the book cover is an important element to place an idea in the reader's mind of what the characters look like and the feel of the book. I am including a back cover blurb below.

1866: Amanda Stewart promised her dying father to use her education to uplift their race and teach newly-freed slaves. When she arrives in Milford, Georgia, freed slave, blacksmith and town leader Virgil Smithson tells her female teachers aren’t welcome there. But Virgil made his own promise—he told his dying wife that their daughter would learn to read and write. In Amanda, he meets a woman whose will is as strong as the iron he fashions. These combatants must put aside their personal feelings to learn God has his own plan that comes from the promises they made to their loved ones.

Requirements

Must have

• The people depicted must have clothes on that are at or near period style (post Civil War United States.)

Nice to have

• I would prefer a cover that depicts both Virgil and Amanda, if possible. If not, it could just be Amanda. One of the dresses that Amanda wears is a large hoopskirted black mourning dress with a matching black bonnet that ties under her chin.

Should not have

• open bare chests chests or cut off heads or Amanda's dress falling off of her.
