The author's father was a major bootlegger in Southeastern North Carolina. He was known far and wide for his ability to make the best moonshine in the area. This bootlegger frequently imposed cruel and even inhumane treatment on his son, especially those involving illegal liquor. James often sustained unusual cruelty and savage beatings for not getting an assigned task perfectly correct. He learned early on to keep his distance from his father and his violent temper, especially when his father was drinking. In those days, there was no intervention by Social Services or law enforcement to prevent the cruelty. Life as a Bootlegger's Son reveals murder and adultery that existed in the family. It also addresses personal survival when confronted with abject poverty and the challenges of growing up largely without parental supervision. The book also has humorous moments that the reader is sure to enjoy. Be sure to read the squirrel story!
