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!
