Book description
Toussaint Boudreaux, a black docker in New Orleans, puts up with his
co-workers' racism because he has to, and moonlights as a prize-fighter
in the hope of a better life - but the only break he gets lands him in
penal servitude. J. P. Winfield, a hick with a gift for twelve-string
guitar, finds his break into showbiz leads to the flipside of the
American dream. Avery Broussard, descendant of an aristocratic French
family, runs whiskey after what remains of his land is repossessed...
