Louisiana Loco-Motive

1895. Butterville, Louisiana. An eleven year old boy sees something he never should have seen. 

It wasn’t a hanging, shooting, beating, kidnapping, rape, or any of that; but, something else so sinister that eighty years later, the reminder of the atrocity screams louder and louder with every chug of the locomotive’s engine.

Can the curse be reversed?

Set in 1970’s Louisiana, Sugar (as she is called), recounts the history of Butterville, which is centered around the legacy of Ranger Brown, a young boy whose fearless father dared to establish his roots in the segregated South.

Inspired by a real life event in her family’s history, Aaralyn Adams brings us a historical thriller so riveting, you will shudder every time you hear the chugging of a locomotive.
