Louisiana Loco-Motive

1895. Butterville, Louisiana. An eleven year old boy sees something he never should have seen. 

It wasn’t a hanging, shooting, beating, kidnapping, rape, or any of that; but, something else so sinister that eighty years later, the reminder of the atrocity screams louder and louder with every chug of the locomotive’s engine.

Set in 1970’s Louisiana, Sugar (as she is called), recounts the history of Butterville, which is centered around the legacy of Ranger Brown, a young boy whose fearless father dared to establish his roots in the segregated South.

Told in the spirit of the book Fried Green Tomatoes, this story is for fans of deep southern culture and will most probably appeal to fans of the legal thriller Sycamore Row.
