Mother of Bourbon

"Mother of Bourbon" tells the inspiring story of Mary Dowling, born in 1859 to Irish immigrants during a time of intense anti-Irish and anti-Catholic sentiment in America. After marrying John Dowling and taking charge of their bourbon company's finances, she faces numerous challenges, including the loss of her husband and the struggle to keep her business afloat in a male-dominated industry. As she emerges as a prominent figure in Lawrenceburg society, the onset of Prohibition threatens her legacy, forcing her into a confrontation with the government over bootlegging charges. This audiobook chronicles her remarkable journey of resilience and determination against societal and governmental obstacles.
