A gripping tale of racial prejudice in a small Southern town,
Bloodroot tells the story of a re red law enforcement officer who
stumbles upon a complex web of ignorance and abuse. Retired county
sheriff Harry Weatherholtz has returned to Virginia's Shenandoah
Valley to live out his final years. But a despicable crime soon
forces Weatherholtz out of his peaceful retirement.The court system
has placed two African-American orphans, young Eddie and his
teenage sister, Miss Ann, in the care of the vicious Hurley
Cutshaw. The community looks the other way as Cutshaw treats the
orphans like chattel, subjecting them to a life of neglect and
abuse - abuse which culminates when he forces Eddie, who can't
swim, into a deep lake to retrieve a five-cent fishing lure. Eddie
drowns while Cutshaw sits on a stump and watches. Weatherholtz
zealously urges current County Sheriff Flin to investigate the
supposed accidental drowning as a homicide, and to push for a grand
jury investigation. Although Sheriff Flin resents Weatherholtz's
meddling at first, the two eventually join together in an audacious
attempt to shut down Cutshaw's child-labor racket. In the process,
they realize that the crime does not implicate Cutshaw alone. Its
roots run deep, drawing on a hate that drives the hearts of those
in the highest positions of power. Bloodroot is the first if the
Shenandoah series.
