In the first pages of Rum Running Queen, I could smell the broken earth, hear the sound of the tractor, and know the compelling characters who would become friends. This book is a hard and fruitful journey you will want to take. Every step was a pleasure. -Scott Hammond, author of Finding Asher
During Prohibition, most women stayed quiet. Willie Carter Sharpe didn't.
Based on a true story, Willie - Rum Running Queen follows a fearless young woman in rural Virginia who discovers she has a rare gift-she can drive faster, think sharper, and take bigger risks than anyone chasing her. As bootlegging spreads through the Blue Ridge Mountains, Willie becomes indispensable...and dangerous.
Outrunning revenuers is the easy part. The real threat comes from rival operators, shifting loyalties, and the cost of carving out freedom in a world determined to deny it. With each mile, Willie's reputation grows-and so does the price of independence.
Gritty, atmospheric, and powered by a heroine who refuses to slow down, Willie - Rum Running Queen is high-octane historical fiction about ambition, defiance, and a woman who took control of the road-and her life.
