What secrets hide behind a child's wagon?
Inspired by a remarkable true story, The Bootlegger’s Daughter transports readers to the vibrant, turbulent streets of early twentieth-century San Francisco, where opportunity and hardship walk hand in hand.
Born to Irish immigrant parents in a San Francisco still rebuilding from the devastating 1906 earthquake, young Ann White comes of age during some of America’s most transformative decades.
As Prohibition takes hold, her father turns to bootlegging to support the family, drawing Ann into the hidden world of Prohibition-era bootlegging of hidden whiskey, whispered secrets, and difficult choices.
What begins as a childhood in a hardworking Irish immigrant family soon becomes a journey through the Spanish Flu pandemic, the Great Depression, World War II, and the ever-changing landscape of San Francisco.
Rich with historical detail and unforgettable characters, this sweeping family saga explores resilience, sacrifice, love, and the enduring strength of a woman determined to persevere through life’s greatest challenges.
From the hidden corners of Prohibition-era speakeasies to the hopes and heartbreaks of a family striving for a better future, The Bootlegger’s Daughter is an inspiring tale of courage, heritage, and survival that will stay with readers long after the final page.
Follow one woman's courage through history's storms.
