The Bootlegger's Mistress

In "The Bootlegger's Mistress," a streetwise African American teenager escapes the racism of 1940s Anderson, South Carolina, embarking on a transformative journey that spans nearly eighty years. Adopting an alter ego, she becomes a nationally respected media mogul, but her life is shadowed by haunting secrets—one related to the murder of a White man and another concerning the disappearance of a prominent Black man from her past. This narrative reflects the Great Migration, the monumental movement of six million African Americans from the oppressive South to the North in search of better opportunities.
